John was a great guy - always very friendly and full of info. I’ll certainly miss seeing him in the shop this season.

That news is very saddening. My sympathies to his family and friends.

just a terrible, terrible loss. i am so going too miss talking with john in the shop. john was a class gentleman that always had a upbeat attitude and always made you feel welcome at the shop.

i remember not too long ago i went into the store with my wife and daughter. he made a point of talking to both of them. he said how nice it was too meet the family of one of his guys.

he will be missed.

Ben, Where the hell did you get the footage? I'm havin' flashbacks.

I knew John well. He was a great guy and always had a bit of advice, a kind word or a report. We are loosing all the great ones and there are none to take their place.

No boat, back in the suds.
