I’m so sorry to hear about Johnboy. This it what Michael and I called him. He’s now in heaven with his good friend Michael. He sure loved Mardi Grad and his travels to Midsiss
I just loved Pops. I have seen him and loved seeing him for years at Nelson
Ledges. I can see his face light up and his big, happy smile. We always hugged and we were so happy to see each other. Pops took absolutely beautiful photos. He saw the love in people and captured it on film. I know that he will be watching over us in Heaven. I love you, Pops!
Lots of love,
Dana and Dustin
He took my wedding photos. Miss you pops.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Pops. When I used to vend at the quarry he was one of my favorite visitors. He will be greatly missed.
I did a lot of automotive work for Pops, talked with him whenever we ran into one another at the mailboxes, the store or just in passing. He always gave me good and creative advice to some of life’s most messed up moments. He will be missed. In more ways than I can count. Rest in peace my friend
My deepest condolences to his family. He will forever be a cherished friend

Pops, you watched as my babies grew and had their own babies. We love you endlessly. Thanks for all the amazing memories. I will always have a water and a snack on me for you!!
I was just at NLQP with my family. I looked for Pops because he always has a sweet smile and a kind hello. He has taken pictures of my kids, now young adult, since they were babies!
Peace and love and safe travels to what ever comes next, sweet human.
Pops. You brought so much love and smiles, your energy circulates, and will forever! We love you!
My sympathy to Natalie and family. I grew up on Spring Street and went all the way through school with John
This shocked me as I thought of John always being there, such a steady presence. He took my son, Howard to Indian Scouts and taught other helpful things that my son should know. A huge loss in our lives.
