    I met John a few years ago when he came to the Post Office to rent a mailbox. He was ordering Christmas gifts for his family and wanted to keep them a surprise! I saw his this summer when we both happened to be in ER. He told me about his accident but seemed to be in good spirits. I am so very sorry for your family's loss. 🙁

    We have know JOHN since he was young and he was a pretty cool kid. He used to come to our video store even if it was to chat or he would walk behind our house and say hi over the fence. From the Holowatiuk Family
