John was married to my sister Marie and was a really nice guy. We had many laughs with John while camping. He will be missed by my sister and daughters and family. RIP John

My condolences go out to Marie and her entire family. John was one of the good guys and I always enjoyed talking to him. May you all find comfort and knowing that he is with our Lord, our savior Jesus Christ. Because of work, I won´t be able to make the showing, but please know that you all are on my mind.
