How sad we were to learn of John's sudden death. He was one of the nicest and kindest men in the Arlington area. John had a special kindness about him. We moved from Arlington 12 years ago...but we never forgot Big John. Our sympathy is extended to his family.

I've known Big John since I was very little. He was a great man. He always brought us something home when he was out on the truck. He will always be remembered, never forgotten.

John and I were in FFA together at Liberty Center. We both graduated in 1970, but our paths rarely passed after that. With sympathy, Martin
