John and I go back go back to 1945 first grade in school. At age 14 we went on a Train ride to Philmont Scout Ranch at Raton New Mexico along with other scouts.. It was an 81 mile 11 day trek in the wilderness.[memories] John in high school spent a lot of spare time working on his ford hot rod at Kennel's garage in Ephrata. After school we went our separate way until a chance meeting on April 6 1990 at the Gottschalk Toy Truck Auction at New Hope Pa.. My wife Marian saw john first while I was looking at toy trucks in a cabinet.She knew john from school.John and I got reacquainted and the love of trucks brought us back to what would be many good memories in the future.We went to many antique truck shows fron Macungie Pa to Fontana California and points in between.John was President of the local chapter of the A T H S for many years and did an outstanding job of it.I am not sure when I first became aware that john was a born again christian ,but he was,.John was married to Phyllis 60 years and an Angel in caring for John these last 7 years.John said were it not for her he would not have lived as long as he did.John will be remembered as a person of conviction and purpose. Rest in peace John.
