I just heard of Johns sudden passing. I worked with him at earl olds along with joe. John was always willing to help us in service with a other than gm vechile., he was a very good tech with vast knowlege of many types of vechiles. John and all the workers at earl were a important part of my life for many years. Iam very sorry for your loss , we must tell ourselves he is in Gods hands now.

This is truly great honest man. Many people don't know me, but I am his ex-wife's daughter. What kind of a man would take care of their ex's kids car, or even her car? He would, he treated me like I was his kid. I drove from the west side, cause he was the only mechanic I coud ever trust! This is a REAL man, a kind man, an HONEST man.
No word can fill the holes in the hearts of his wife Sharon, or his children Mandy or even J.R. I love you all and I Pray for the family who lost 2 awesome men, too soon. Maybe what people have said is right, God must have had a big job to finish up in Heaven.
I am going to miss him, not because of what he did. But because of who he was. He made me laugh, and kept a smile on my face. Kept the worry from me when I bought Uncle Sam's 96 Buick Century. Both those men can never be replaced, or the stories from uncle Sam on how much the cost of living was when he was my age, or the sound of them arguing over what was wrong with my car/ the solitare game at the shop.
Sharon our heartfelt prayers are with you and other family members. My regrets are not getting to travel back home to visit and get to know how wonderful of a person Uncle John was before his passing. My parents always told me I was named after a good man. After reading what the others had to say. It is an Honor to be named after Uncle John. I look forward to visiting with you and other family members in the future.
I'm going to miss John. He always had a smile when I would take my car in. He was such a nice guy. - Lisa
Dear Family of John,
My heartfelt condolence to you for the untimely passing of John. I was a loyal customer of his which I heard about his shop through a mutual satisfied customer. What a truly nice guy and HONEST. He worked on my car several times, advised me on a used car purchase and would stop working and look at something on my car real quick. I would take him and his crew donuts periodically for his kindness. He will be truly missed. God lessen your grief as time goes on.
Uncle Johnny will be greatly missed. I can not express the sadness our family has felt over the past couple of weeks. Losing the two brothers so close to each other has made it hard, but with Gods grace and comfort we will press forward. Sharon, i know what you are going through all to well and i know that no matter how many times you have heard how sorry people are, it does help some but yet it doesnt. Just hold on and dont let go especially to the wonderful memories that you and John had together. Its so hard to lose a spouse and a friend at the same time, but rest assure God has a reason for everything. We may not know it or may never know it but there is a reason. Please dont hestitate to call any of us family for anything.RIP Uncle Johnny and Uncle Sam. Tell Grandma and Grandpa hello for all of us.
We were deeply saddened by the news of John's passing. John was a gentle soul who touched our lives. When we think of him, we will always remember his quick smile, his positive attitude and his caring nature. He was more than a mechanic to us; he was a friend. He made us always feel welcome and he made Medina feel like a small town where neighbors help one another. One of the best memories we have is when he fixed something on one of our cars and wouldn't take any money for it. When my husband tried to insist on giving him something for his time and trouble, he said, "Ah, just buy me a 12 pack of Pepsi and we'll call it even." That story still makes me smile because it was something that one friend says to another. We'll miss you John. You're such a sweet soul!
Condolences to his children and grandchildren who lost a great dad and grandfather. And of course, deepest sympathies to his entire family, all those left behind and all those whose lives he touched.
My dad was and still my HERO! R.I.P Daddy I love you!!!!
Thank you everyone for your kind words and prayers!
