My name is Raul Pineiro meet John at Panther Stainless fabrication our friend ship went up for year, Juanillo was a great friend and teacher, he had star mine for metal fabrication. For that he was admire by his colleagues. Remember the red fiero, going out on the weekends, later life separated us, actually i have been call him to come to work with me. Rest In Peace my friend.
I've only known John for a small amount of time while working in Emjac, he will always come in with a smile on his face and of course amazing conversations. He loved speaking about his family, and of course HIS CAR! which i used to bother him and call it bubble bee just to have him tell me NO! that is not the same car from transformers. We always exchange stories or he will tell me the lotto numbers he picked and the reason why he chose those exact numbers, i believe he even won money from fantasy 5 once and came into the office telling me it was a great week. i will always share pictures of my daughter with him ,He was always so kind and humble and made such a imprint every where that he went.
He made jokes constantly like one time he stopped right by my desk looked at me and asked me "Ashley do you have Visine?" i looked clueless at him NO john why would i have that, then he pointed at his car and said because my car is high (He had placed brand new red headlights on his car) i laughed so hard because he sure did love that car. He will always stop by my desk in the afternoon asking if i wanted coffee, he was an amazing Coworker to have and as i come into the office and look at the parking lot i truly miss seeing him wipe down his car.
God needed another angel, and sadly he chose the best one, whenever i see a car like his i will forever think of john. I feel like we dont appreciate people till they are gone and right now i feel that pain inside because i wouldn't of expect this. Coming in Monday morning and hearing the news broke my heart. Here in Emjac we are like family, so on August 3rd i didnt just loose a coworker but i lost one of my family members.
Rest in peace John, Dont drive to fast in heaven. you'll be forever loved and missed.
Love,
Ashley A Rodriguez
