miss you
I’m very sad at the loss of John. We met in 1974 at EAL System One and soon became friends playing golf or just hanging out after work or on weekends. He was a great family man and very entertaining. There is not enough time or room here to share all the funny stories we shared. But I’m sure he knew so many of us loved him and appreciated him regardless of what we were doing at the time.
Covid risk has prevented me from sharing this mournful day with you , your family and friends.
It’s obvious now that we should have spent more time together than we did. You are a bright star Captain Jack, Johnny and John !
Rest In Peace !

I've known John and Debby since 1976 when I started at Eastern. Debby and I used to carpool before they were married. John always played in the Dittle golf tournaments and then we got him in our weekly card game. We called him "Johnny Bet" because if everyone checked, he would bet and say he didn't come here for checkers. Our game will never be the same without him. I hope he found a good game up there. Cheers old buddy. Moe
