While his bar stool will be empty, countless rounds of drinks will be had in his memory by his many friends at Ma Barkers. Also, John will be missed by his good friends Pat Kelly and Dave Kingsley. Per Johns wishes there will be no services in honoring John’s memory let us celebrate the life he lived and may he rest in peace. John….. “Well see ya when we see ya”
