John and I went to High School together.  I believe we were both in National Honor Society together and maybe another group.  
I remember Mr. Beeson making fun of us (in a joking way) in one of his math classes, but we laughed our butts off!!
I didn't really get to know John much until our senior year, and then it was off to college after that.  I really wish I would have gotten to know John better, earlier in HS or even MS, because John was always a great guy.  I remember John being very hard on himself when he missed a question, so he was a lot like me and was a perfectionist.... 
although I was more internal about my perfectionism.  
You will be missed, John!!  Prayers to his family and close friends!!

I was a patient of Dr. McKenna's for many years, and am grateful for his care, concern, and expertise, especially when I had a scare with double vision 17 years ago. He was both comforting and reassuring, which meant the world to me. He always had a smile, and I am blessed to have had him and the rest of his team at McKenna Family Eye Care taking care of my eyesight. Keeping his family and friends in my prayers, and sending my deepest sympathy. He will be missed!!

I'm very sad to hear the news of John's passing. He was not only my Eye doctor and colleague, but I considered him a friend as well. Rest in Peace John.  

John was a friend of  our son, Scott Jones, and they grew up in the same neighborhood.  Always liked that kid and when he opened his beautiful optometry office, he became my eye Doctor.  John was knowledgeable, patient, & kind & will be missed by all who knew him.

With deepest sympathy,
Jay & Brenda Jones

 John, I'm honored to have known you, and proud to call you a dear friend. You will be missed by so many, I hope you're finally at Peace. I will forever remember your words of wisdom and all of the amazing conversations shared. Thanks for blessing us with your knowledge  and your true self with all of us.. Fly high my dear friend

10 year work anniversary deserves the presentation of a trophy 😃

I am praying for John's family and friends  during this time of loss.  I remember John and I were talking during one of my appointments at his office where he told me about a time that my dad Wes Frady had given him some great business advice and he always enjoyed talking with my dad during his appointments.   As a Mt. Vernon High School Alumni it is truly sad to hear when one of our own classmates passes.  John will be missed by many!!!!

I was a patient and friend of John's. I told him about a girl that needed glasses and didn't have the money. John was so kind. He saw that she had new glasses and never charged anything. He truly had a kind heart.
