Karen - Since I can't speak to John, I'll tell you: Big John was a caring, soft-spoken giant of a man. There was a gentle side to Johnny that many people didn't see, and yet, people felt very comfortable and at ease when Johnny was around - the room would be filled with his charm and kindness which I'm sure is why you love him so. Though he was a hulk of a man, it was these qualities that makes him so memorable. His nickname at the "Hall" was "Johnny Trump" -- they had a lot in common: size, personality, real estate and flashy cars. Once at Station 3, Johnny, in true Trump form, drove his DeLorean into the parking lot, announcing his arrival with both gull-wing doors open in true Johnny Trump fashion. When I think of Johnny, I think of the song -- Big Bad John -- he will truly be missed. May peace be with you and your family. Ray Gauthier
