Rest Easy John. Fred and family, my heart is with you at this most difficult time and I wish you my sincere condolences. It was always a pleasure serving John from behind the bar at Cleats. His quick wit and amazing humor always made for a great visit. John, may God hold you in the palm of his hand. I am grateful to have gotten to know you over the years and will never forget your smiling face.
