I remember giving John that Mets cap when he told me he was a Mets fan. The smile was priceless. Then when we gave him the cake my mother in law made he grinned from ear to ear. The times we spent together were priceless. It was truly a blessing to knowJohn. You will be missed by us all. 

POPS  was my NCOIC in the Guard, he became a friend leading to a member of my softball team.  It didn't take long to become my go to 1st Baseman and clutch hitter. Over time he became one of my BEST FRIENDS,  Adviser, Father Figure , Team Mate, and a man I will always RESPECT and Look Up to. I will miss you POP and that rough raspy voice, but will always Cherish the laughs (Jacksonville Fall Out), memories (Ticket in ole beater w/no floor board going to ARK TY), and guidance you gave me.  See you again at Home Plate one day.  GOD SPEED MY FRIEND!!!!

On the field and looking at me with that look of Shut the Hell Up, lol!

I remember this like it was Yesterday and it was his 50th Birthday and of course we had to have the party at the filed because we had games.  My wife Dee coordinated everything for him.  We all loved this ole man as our 2nd dad

Another great Team with more talent and friendships.  POP was always  the Father of the Team built around him and his advice

POP styling and profiling.  Got all dressed up so we could take him out to eat somewhere other than Fast Food

POP would slap me with his 1st base glove if he knew people seen him in a wind suit, lol!!!  

Pops, Steve, and I planning a tournament. 

Arguably the BEST Team we played on not only because of the talent, but because of the friendships

One of the Best Teams Pop & I ever played on. 

If he wasn't playing with the Eliminators he was umpiring.  Had to be around the game

GREAT TIMES WITH POP. ONE HECK OF A 1 BASEMAN

I played softball with John for many years. I have nothing but great memories of John as a team mate and a friend. The last time I saw him was a little over twenty years ago playing golf.  It was great to see him and we were able to reminisce about our years of playing ball together. It’s a memory I’ll always cherish. 

I loved the photos of John that were placed here!

Rest In Peace my friend, and my sincere condolences to all the family. John will be greatly missed. 

John, if there’s softball in Heaven I look forward to playing again with you some day.  

An awesome night of Food, Family, Friends, and Fun at Mercado's in Tyler.  This group made an AWESOME half of a softball team.  So many memories with Pop, all good. Don't think I have a bad one except December 31st when he left us.  Love Ya Pop!

I remember this day like it was yesterday.  Such an Awesome day of golf with Pop.  He is the only golfer I know that has had I know for sure over 5 Hole in One's and I believe the last count he told me was 8 and 3 of them on the same course-same hole.  Sure loved this ole man!
