Grew up with John through grade school and high school. He was always a good and kind friend. I know he had a passion for photography, always carrying a camera. Although I have not seen him in quite some time. I always enjoyed his posts and pics
Prayers to the family. RIP JOHN. God bless you all.
Although, I didn’t know John on a close basis, I knew him from working in the Kansas City Royals Press Club. Every game he would come by my desk, smile, and say hello. He was always polite, cordial, and soft spoken. I always felt that he was a gentle person and admired that quality he gave to the people he met
I wish I had gotten to know him better, but that is my loss. The world needs more people like John and then it would be a kinder and more gentle place.
