My friend John...

John and I go back 55 years. The fact that John's friendship with me, Sheldon, and so many others spanned decades is really a tribue to John himself. If he was your friend, you could always count on him, he was someone who valued family and friendship above all else. I first met John in Boy Scouts, then we remained close friends through school, playing on the school football team togther, going on double dates and driving around town first in the Galaxie, then the Mustang and finally the Triumph. The Triumph was his favorite of the three but also the only one that ever left us stranded. I remember walking miles with him to find a place that had spark plugs for imported cars when the Triumph's engine fouled the plugs and left us on the side of the road about 30 miles from home! We worked together first pumping gas at the local Mobil station, then washing dishes at a nusing home. I really have very few memories from that time period that don't have John in them somewhere. In our senior year as we walked through a mall at Christmas time John spotted a mall Santa and insisted that we have a picture with him, and he wouldn't be denied, so we each sat on one of Santa's knees and had a picture taken. John always had "an idea."  Sue and I visited John and Karen in 2014 and while the three of us were sitting in the car waiting for Karen to come out of the house, John suddenly thought it would be fun if we would all hide on Karen! I thought it was vintage "John," always having fun and ready for a laugh. It will be difficult now, but we will always have the stories and memories to remind us what a great friend John was.
