Our condolences,John was a great guy and always had a story to tell.
My sympathies go out to the family and certainly many friends of John. The last time I saw John was some 25 years ago when we worked together at Farmington Building Supply. I was young and foolish then and not a care in the world. John knew this and every single day at work he gave me advice on one subject after another. I paid little attention to what he said at the time. Now I'm starting to realize what he was talking about. I wish I had paid more attention to our conversations. I will miss John, even though I knew him briefly, he made an impression that will last a lifetime. Also, John always walked around singing Hank Sr. songs. Mark Kile
