My prayers go out to you, Paula and the kids as well as John’s family and friends. He and I worked together as sales reps at AAA Cooper for many years. Man he loved Paula and his kids – he talked about them all the time. I was so competitive with him and each month in our sales meetings when I would pick on him about my increase in sales verses his and he would say, “Up is up. Suzy. Up is up!”. I learned so much from him and when he resigned to start Hudco I actually cried. He was such a kind and good soul, always staying in touch with my Dad in Pierre Part and going to fry fish for him. I am so very sorry I could not make the service – I had prior commitments I could not get out of but I was there in spirit. God bless all of you. Rest easy my friend.

John, John. Meant so much to so many in the world of YouTube. He will be dearly missed by so many. My prayers are with John’s family and friends. Rest high on that mountain my friend, in the arms of Jesus.
