John was a great guy. We worked day shift patrol together and he always made me laugh with his great sense of humor. You will not be forgotten, John. Thanks for your service in USMC,PCSO, and to family and friends.

Don't know where to begin and so many things to say. But to keep it short, I'll never forget those endless talks in the garage at work and the phone calls over the years. You are and will forever be loved and missed. Rest easy, "Dad".

Saddened to hear of John's passing. He never beat around the bush. He'd dig it up and throw it at you, if you needed it. Only worked with you a few years, but you'll be greatly missed.
