Oh my God. That is terrible! I just saw it on SOL....I couldn't believe it. Very, very sad. John was a true gentleman and a class act. Condolences to his family and his friends for the loss. So young. RIP John Habs!  |

Such a shock
Godbless you John and rest in peace. May your crossing over bring something wonderful to you. My condolences to all his family and friends.
Your life as a fisherman and plug maker has given so much to the fishing community. Many, in their sadness for your passing, will remember you for many many years to come for your contributions.
So sad......

Good health and family
