My deepest condolences to the family. I met John years ago while he was bartending at Richard's. He was such a great guy and a real friend. He always had a smile on his face.
He was really caring and had a heart of gold. This is such a shock, I'm blessed to have known John as a friend. He will be sorely missed.
God bless you John, R.I.P. you are reunited with your Mom.
