I am so very sorry to hear this. John and I grew up in all the Burbank sports programs and held a mutual care for each other's skills. I coached his fine sons in bowling at Pickwick Bowl and went to many state tournaments always laughing and having a great time with our sons. At our last reunion John and I talked at great length about me buying his large baseball card collection. We talked on the phone just a few months ago and decided to wait till after the new year. John always had a good laugh and a huge heart. Ironically that might be what took him from us. RIP my friend
See you on the other side.

ReplyDeleteWhen in high school there are a lot of classmates that we all knew and continue to this day we still know, however there are only a few that really stand out in our memories and John was one of those. Rest in peace John
