Remembering you for kindness shown and the Flying Burrito and being a fellow Lithuanian.
John was loved by many people in Arizona,including myself,he will be missed.
My condolences to the family. John was a giving man who was eager to share his knowledge, whether it was cars or construction, he put his all into it! He taught me so many things I still use to this day. I wish I had the opportunity to thank him for sharing his wisdom with me so many years ago. “Take it easy”, John. Rest in peace!
My dear Sue and family, I haven’t seen or talked to you in years but I would always think about you and John for years. Tried contacting Rodney to no avail. My heart is broken to here about “Big John” death and so late. Sue, you have my condolences and my prayers for your loss. John is now with my son Joseph instead of me. Joseph knew of all Johns stories from the wild mustang or Bonnevlle rides, AAU Westling and of course fishing. I always talked about John and Rodney. God blessed us with their short time with us and I’m sure Joseph will show John the ropes. My son middle name was JOHN.
