John was not only a great uncle, he was also my godfather. He had to be one of the funniest men in the family. Always was there with a shoulder to lean on and knew how to make you laugh. He reminded me more of my own dad than anyone else in the family. He will greatly be missed and will most likely be enjoying planning tricks on everyone down here with his brother. Prayers and love to his kids and family.
