John was a great man, friend to many, and a joy to be around. He will be greatly missed around the Lafayette area. He was the very first person I gave my bowling autograph to in West Virginia on a bowling tournament! He will always be remembered by many and will be greatly missed

Although I haven&t seen John for over 20 years, I think of him often. I watched him bowl with my dad, Les, when I was growing up, and then I got to be on their team for 5 or 6 years on Friday nights. John always made us feel good no matter what had happened during the week. He was a great encourager. Whenever I got a split, he&d look at me and say, ""That&ll go!"" I&ll always remember his booming voice and laugh and pats on the back.

My heart is heavy at hearing of his loss. My sympathy to all his loved ones.
