I miss my Friend JP,

He was one of the smartest technicians I have ever worked with,
We had a lot of fun together..  





Early Days 
We were just three tall kids, all bundled up and hunched together in the back compartment of our mom’s 1960’s station wagon, laboriously assembling the big Sunday Sacramento Bee newspaper. John had his first job delivering the paper from his bicycle, early each morning. But on frosty-cold winter mornings, Mom took pity on him. With the back gate of the station wagon open, she’d slowly drive his route, his younger sisters helping out, as John tossed the heavy newspapers onto driveways and porches around our neighborhood. 
John had plans for his income, and we were to benefit in an unexpected way. 
We knew he was interested in mail-order chemistry classes, but he never spoke about it much. However, one warm, dry evening the next summer, he gleefully invited Debbie and me out to the driveway. Crouching down, hiding his work from us, he carefully set up some odd looking gear, the most recognizable piece being a messed up coffee can. 
When he stood up again, we waited while the coffee can sat quietly on the concrete, impatient to know what mischief he had made. 
He just grinned and watched us jump out of our skins when all of a sudden that can shot high in the sky with a thunderous BOOM!

When I see a Rubik’s Cube, I think of my brother, John. He got one when they first sold them in the 70’s and solved the puzzle immediately. He was a quiet, brilliant intellectual who loved science, computers, fireworks, experiments, arcade games, rock music, and most of all, his family. He said it was a simple algorithm to solve the puzzle. He tried to show me, but I never could do it. I love and miss you, Bro. I’m still trying to solve the puzzle. May you Rest In Peace. 💔

I will miss you so very much, you we're my everything .Rest well my Love. 

real thankful to know john. always great talking with him about pinball and arcade games

The best fireworks guy I know. A great Dad and husband. 



He was the strength for so many and will be greatly missed. 

There are no words to heal a broken heart…sending love and comfort to the whole family during this difficult and sorrowful time.
