John lived a life that I take pride in emulating. He was a kind man with a truly impressive work ethic who took great pride in anything he touched. His love of life and family were second-to-none… and he loved to travel. He welcomed any opportunity to get in the car and drive somewhere, near or far.
I make a lot of trips to South Carolina and Florida, and people frequently ask me if I get tired of all the driving. I always think of John who would jump at the chance to drive somewhere. Anywhere.
I am 72 years old and if I live to be half the man John Leyen was, I will be happy. Rest in peace my friend.
