oh no... so sorry to see this.
Such a great guy, no nonsense and old school. Always willing to talk shop and be helpful but didn't put up with BS and had a great nose for sniffing out people asking for handouts rather than being guided to find the answer for themselves... I always really respected that about him.
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.

Just seeing all of this. Very sad indeed. I used to run into John on the back beaches down the Cape or at Nelsons Bait and Tackle all the time back in the day! Great guy, fun to talk with.......just so sorry to hear this news! I know he grabbed all that life had to offer and he did not cheat himself! Condolences to his family and may John rest in peace.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
