  6. John was a vivid fisherman. Him and Pam cruising that I-45 did a great effort to pick me up towing that big boat so I can go fishing with them. You will be missed dearly. My deepest sympathy and sincere condolences are sent to the family.

    • That John and Irvine had enough parts between them to open their own hardware store and could figure out how to fix just about anything.

  9. The reality of losing another friend, causes my mind to flood with memories of working for John at SCH. What begin for me in 1977 and continued until 1988, he and countless others helped shape this once 21-year old man. He led a plethora of young adults, very early in their career, and was instrumental in creating a work environment like no other. Those who knew him, loved him, respected him and revered him. He was unique and will be missed. Prayers to Pam and all of John’s family. May God bless each and every one of you.
