Very sorry to hear of Johns passing, he and I were good friends through out high school, We sort of lost contact after school but would run into each other every now and then, usually at the Sunset Inn. John always had a good sense of humor and we shared many laughs together. My best wishes and condolences to Kathy and Johns family, may he rest in peace.
John, my memories of you will live on, what a guy! You and Kathy were always there for me, growing up without my father and helping whenever it was needed. You and Kathy were always my first stop when visiting Hornell. Wish I could have told you this in person, Thank you John, I will miss you!
Love Always
Dave
