John died in 1995 at the age of 43 way too soon. John truly was my best friend at Granite. We spent many hours walking & talking or driving around. If we didn't have a date we would go to a dance or a movie. John was a rock for me many times when I needed him to be. He helped me through many troubled times. I lost touch with him after I married. When this site was created I found out that he had died. I then found his sister on Facebook and she was kind enough to share some of her memories with me. John left footprints on my heart for his friendship. I will never forget him and he will be part of my soul forever.I love you my dear dear friend. You were the best.

John was a very wonderful, kind and loving individual. It had been so, so many years even before he passed away that we were in contact. The world lost a beautiful person.Kim Kerr
John was a good man. He was complex and I spoke with him just before his passing when he lived out in LA. He had found himself and his way of life. I am proud to call John one of my friends.
