Johnny Pollock

I didn't know until this morning but we lost John November 30th. Services were the 4th.

Rest your Oar, sir

Here is a shot of Johnny doing some fisheries "Research" (h/t VB)

I love that picture. I said this on FB, but he was truly one of my most favorite humans ever.

There was no quit in that guy.

Miss you, Johnny.

RIP Johnny! He will be missed for sure

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

John was a great guy! Always loved seeing him at MSBA meetings, shows, where ever! I missed seeing him in recent years due to his declining health......he will be missed going forward.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I am going to go out and get some Highland Park 12.

I went and visited him a couple years ago (wish I had last year!@!!) and he broke out the good stuff.

Johnny Pollock! Now there was a one of a kind! He would make you feel he was your best bud in the world! No matter it had been a year or two since you last saw him. I think he was that way with many of us. I will have to do a search for some old pics of him on the trips. Funny bastid he was! Only guy I ever saw drive right up to the edge of the dock for the ferry over to Cuttyhunk with handicap license tag hanging on his car's mirror! Thought he was going to stick his tongue down Bonnie's throat when he realized she was going to give him a ride to the Club his first trip out there. He "didn't count on that much marching." We only let him fish "alone" at sunset, pretty much in sight of the Clubhouse lawn. His last trip I think he only fished the first evening. He was just happy as a clam to be out on island with the boys. He would crank out a great breakfast for all, then sit back and enjoy his "tea" and the banter on the Club porch. Johnny, you always put a smile on my face!

He was a character for sure. Met him at a couple of s-b events and he stood out big time.

Anyone find an obituary? All I found was a very brief announcement with no details.

That is all I saw.

He was Navy so he had at least (hopefully) a Veterans Burial. I could not find anything on the VA locator. I would like to find where he is and pour him a Highland Park. Drinking one in remembrance right now.

RIP Johnny

Had him out on the boat quite a few times when he was able, oxygen tank and all. Always up for a trip and no quit. Not too many people around with his character

If anyone gets some info or family, I would like to know about it. Maybe call funeral home?
