whether talking plugs, BS ing at the shop or random middle of the night bump-in-tos out on the beach when he was the only other person I came across all night...I always looked forward to getting a chance to meet up.

He was always interested in and encouraging of Leah's development as a surfcaster and a ski racer.. and often asked about both. Offered to help us find deals on a place to stay and tickets at Sugarbush when she qualified for US eastern champs last year before they got covid-cancelled. thats the kind of guy he was

and man, those DARTERS........

will miss not texting/messaging/seeing him out there...wont be the same

Kindest thoughts to JP and Jeannie
Great post. Perfectly encapsulates who John was. A true testament to him.

I’ll miss talking to him, too.
