Here’s a bittersweet look back at the past through a few old picture/posts.

I hope some of the following pictures bring back some fond memories of John, on the web, by the water and at the watering hole.

Mike, I know how much he ment to you and he will always be with you in spirit.

I remember when your wife was first pregnant and you returned from the doctors office and couldn't wait to post the picture/sonogram of your first child. A little work in Photoshop, another quick post and a follow up call to John that went something like this, "John, you better take a closer look at that sonogram from Tattoo, I think you have some explaining to do. Who's your daddy?" Well it took a minute or two and then I heard a roar from the other side of the phone. John was on the floor laughing over that one.

Mike

The trips to Coddington Brewing Co.

The trips to Coddington Brewing Co. were always memorable...in fact they will live on in the pages of Dave DiBenedetto's book, "On The Run"

Who can forget the infamous hat...

John enjoyed wearing this hat because he loved to watch people's reactions when they realized that Santa's little helpers were up to no good.
