I can recall many fond memories hanging out together when we were coming up. We played pool in his garage, chased the girls, and cruised around on his moped with our leather jackets. John was so fun to hang out with and I felt we had each other's back. We thought we were the cats meow when we would hit up the local putt putt golf and games. I lost contact for many years and was pleased to run into him a year or two back. He was still the same a very fun loving, charismatic fellow I grew up with. I feel so sad he got so sick and try to focus on the blessing of life to offer me his friendship. I was so happy to reunite with John an get to share time with him now that we were older. I'm so sad he passed. Seeing him again this past year was very exciting for me cause it was clear we still had each other's back. Now that he's passed it broke my heart because he was like my brother in alot of ways. R.I.P. my big blonde brother "SID". Probably I'd say my most close friend from childhood. Condolences to all his sweet family. I'm here if you need to talk or share a Sid story. I loved his chuckle and that deep voice. My wife and daughter met him at a music party in Hopkins about 2 yrs back. It felt like family meeting family and made me so happy. I always felt comfortable around him. This was a loyal caring man. John will always be with us. Sid has my back forever now. XO, SAFKO
