I have so many wonderful memories of John that I’m not sure where to begin. Beth, Maureen, John and I spent a lot of time together early in Beth and John’s relationship. Trips to Darien Lake. Endless nights of card games and amazing food. Fishing and hunting trips that John and I took together. A level 4 rapid trip that we probably want to forget. John was like the older brother I never had. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jennifer, Alecia, Becky, Beth, Scarlett and Alex along with all of those that have a special place in their hearts for John.
I have so many good memories of John that I’m not sure where to begin. Trips to Darien Lake where I had to drive home so John could get some sleep before working the night shift. Washing his truck to thank him for all he’d done but, scratching his sideview mirrors in the process. Endless nights of cards and great food. Fishing and hunting with John too many times to count. A level 4 rapids trip on Black River where John saved me from doing harm to my father! Camping trips and campfires. John was like the older brother I never had. I will miss you dearly John as I’m sure many others will. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jennifer (Alicia and Alex), Rebecca (Scarlett), Beth and the other family and friends that will miss him.
