Miss you John can hardly believe it's been a year and such a crazy year. You were spared from living through it. May you be surrounded by the highest divine light and love.
I remember whenever I would go somewhere with my father, that he would stop and have a conversation with strangers. As a kid I thought, "hurry up dad, can we get going or your weird dad", I know it often embarrassed RJ. Now I see a reflection of his character. He genuinely was interested/curious in how other people were doing, in connecting with others over the smallest of things. He had a passion for life and to it's enjoyment. He had this abiity to shift a the energy of a room. This is a fond reminder in these tough times, to enjoy life I can simply be curious and connect with another.
I wanted to share with you all how much John loved the blues. He attended so many blues fests and music fairs. He saw BB King many times, Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy to name a few. Neal Young was another one of his favorite artist. Lois had said . . . she can't count the number of times John blew out their speakers. He passionately loved his music! Sending my love to you John today and always.
My cousin Jamie Adams reminded me that when we were kids John's nickname was "Reese" I believe it was because he love to eat Reeses peanut butter cups. Next time you eat one think of John and smile.
Our sweetest and fondest memory of John was at his beautiful wedding. We thought it was so special when learning that the bride and groom planned a honeymoon, including the boys. I think they went to Disneyland; what could say more about a loving parent?! We hope that John is now resting in peace, along with his loving mom and dad. His spirit will surely live on from the love of the rest of his family and friends.
When I think of you, John, I always see a photograph of you in my mind. You're about 8 or 9 years old and crawling under the cocktail table in your living room. I remember running all over your house playing tag and catching fireflies in your yard on a hot summer's night and being introduced to your Mom's goat while it sprayed pellets in the kitchen. You were and always will be so fun-loving. I hope you are rocking it, oh I know your are, on the other side. Until we meet again, play those baseball games, turn up the music, and let your spirit dance!
Richard and Andreu, I know John's passing is the hardest for the two of you. It is a deep gut-wrenching pain to suffer the loss of a father. Yet somehow we wake up the next day and keep moving on. As you both move on, may you focus on the best parts of your Dad. Let those parts grow inside of you and motivate you to move forward and live your life's plan to the best of your abilities. I know that is what he wants for you and I know he will always be watching over you. When he talked about you, I knew he loved you both to the moon and back. He still does.

Sorry to hear of Johns passing he was a good guy. I have many fond memories helping out on teams he coached. He kept the 13-15 age group of Babe Ruth going, joined us with Boyertown and Pottstown and others-put a nice league together. He brought intensity, sportsmanship and pride to every game.
I knew this funny , energetic guy since he was about 8 years old . He was a Great baseball player . I remember him watching one of my better high school baseball games , as he was 4 years younger than me on the freshman team . His sister and brother were absolutely great in helping him throughout his life . He suffered and persevered through decades of real physical pain that made life difficult for him at times . Yet he was always ready to laugh and joke about many different things . I’m sure he’s at peace and pain free in a better place . Sincere condolences to his children , brother and sister 🙏
John played 8+ years for my Reds Team in the MSBL and I never seen or even played with a shortstop that was as talented as he was. He was small in stature but played with the Heart and Fire as a Giant ! He made all of his teammates better players....As a friend he always made me laugh and was helpful to my business and I will always be grateful.
RIP John #1
