I always liked to talk to John at the swap meets. I bought some cool items from him over the years.
I regret I never got around to taking him up on his invitation to visit his place by the lake. Our sympathy and prayers for his family and friends.

I knew John for many years and always looked for him at Iowa Gas and the Wichita Swap Meet. Called him many times looking for a hard-to-find pump part and he usually had it. One of the "good guys" that will be missed.

John was "Good People!" He set up beside me at Iowa Gas. We did alot of shows together... Very knowledgable about signs, pumps and especially Marx toys!!! I have sought his professional advise on numerous occasions! We have lost 1 of the nicest guys in the hobby! ~God Bless his Family!~  You will be sadly missed my friend!!!!!! Pictured here "In Action" selling a sinclair can to Tara+Wes he ALWAYS had the warmest, friendliest conversation!!!
