Prayers to the family. My good friend and crane operator John. (I Nick named him shack attack) We spent lots of time on the phone in between lifts chatting about this and that. He knows my kids and mom. He stayed with me for a while and cut my grass. I will always miss you. See you on the next ride my friend . Love ya dude.
My condolences to Christina and Kelly on the death of their son and brother. John was a compassionate soul who showed thoughtfulness to us regularly and let us know that he loved us. I looked at John like a son in law and I believed that he felt the same way. He will always live in my heart. Having lost my son nearly two years ago I do understand the pain the family feels. You all are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
My thoughts are with your family and loved ones. You were a special person, a beautiful soul and a true gentleman. I am proud to have known you and had you as a friend. You will truly be missed. Rest in peace John xx
