Words cannot express how sad I am hearing of John's passing. As a brother fireman at Citizens Engine John made everyone better. He took the "rookies" under his wing and taught us the ropes. He always enjoyed playing Santa for the children's Christmas party and would do anything asked of him, even fly in a helicopter one year. He brought joy and friendship to all who knew him. He will be greatly missed. Sending prayers to John's family as well as my brothers and sisters at Citizens Engine. May he rest in peace.
