My name Is Bear and I have known John and His wife, Krista, for a few years and never have I met a better brother and great friend. I am blessed to know them both and to call John a brother of mine. Always with a smile and a hug he greeted me and I am saddened not to have been able to spend more time with with such a great and peaceful man. I will miss those times I was blessed enough to kick it with John. John's heart, soul, and spirit was true. He was and is a man of heart and no falsehood in him whatsoever. I pray that all who remember you will have a smile on their face and a pint ready. I am gonna miss ya my brother...but...you will always live as long as I, and so many others, have breath. I will remember you with a smile, warmth in my heart, and a pint without doubt.
