Default Member johnsma22 has passed....

https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-for-...lnnul7EmjG0pB4

From his wife Brenda.
"My family and I had to say goodbye to my darling husband this evening after suffering from multiple myeloma. He will be so missed by so many people. All of us who knew him and loved him will always remember how his voice would fill a room, and his sense of humor and sarcasm was like no other. He was such a loving and devoted husband, father and friend. We have great peace knowing he is with his beloved Saviour and no longer suffering. We will see you again, my love, walking the streets of gold."

John is my friend. He'll always be with me in spirit. This hurts....alot. Thank you to those who helped out supporting his family. RIP my friend.

Lost a friend about 7 years ago to MM. Wonder how long they were able to give him? It's a tough battle

No timetable was given but he had had another surgery on his back just a few weeks ago because a tumor was giving him pain.

Suck part about this is apparently today was his 27th wedding anniversary and yesterday was his daughters birthday.

Oh My GOD!
I knew John since I 1st started on PY over 20 years and we have been friends ever since.
Such a good guy I will miss him always
I will always remember his enthusiasm the fist time he came to my house and I tuned his car.
My God bless his soul and watch over his family.

Yea, he sent that to me as well and I bitched at him for having tar all over the car after I detailed it for him a few years prior.
