He was the best grandfather me and Addison could ask for we had fun on all of our birthday parties we had together. He would always try to help when he could and we are devastated that he left us and we miss "papa john" so much.

John was an awesome and funny guy. I remember when I used to live across the street from him. I would visit with him every morning and just have a chat. He was definitely one of a kind. A true genuine nice guy. He had a big heart and will be missed.
