I have known John since he was a teenager. You would very seldom see John when he did not have a smile on his face. We didn't see each other much after I quit bowling, but when we did, he was the same thoughtful and caring person that he had always been. Heaven will be getting a wonderful person.
I grew up around John at Pike Lanes in the 70's and 80's. He was a great bowler, but a better man. So many great times with him back in those days. He had nothing bad to say about anyone and always had a smile on his face; usually a funny story to share. Rest in peace my friend!
Many good memories of John and you in my youth. He coached me on the game of bowling, My prayers are with you and your family.RIP, friend.
I enjoyed living next door to John and Pat for 16 years. I can still smell the steaks John would cook at lunch. I saw him everyday and he was always so kind. My thoughts and prayers are with Pat, Jonathan, and Michael.
John and Bill Turpin brought me to Little Rock to bowl with them in 1976. I learned so much being around John. Not just bowling but how to be a better person. He was as good as you would ever hope to know. Pat, prayers for you and your family
I miss the days of walking in you and Pat’s house and you yelling at the Razorbacks. Those were the days on Spring Grove.

Well the awesome memories are still rolling today. Sooooooo many with John and Pat. Traveling together for so may years will never be forgotten. Great friendship and will surly miss him until we meet again in Heaven. GOD BLESS THIS FAMILY
John was always kind and one heck of a friend. You are resting in the arms of Jesus now, until we meet again RIP my friend!
