    John was a dear friend of mine. A best friend even. We shared quite a few struggles together as young men however we shared a whole lot more laughs and good times. I gave John his first tattoo with a homemade tattoo gun. Silly i know but that was just the start of the stupidity and countless good times we shared.

    We loved to skateboard together and we loved to play music together. John was a really good guitar player. Often he would stick me with the bass and have me sing songs and covers that were ridiculous just because he knew i would. I would usually make a fool of myself but it was worth the laughs. Me and John laughed a LOT. I am thankful for all the good times we shared and i only wish i could remember them better because there were so many of them.

    John was a lot of things. Intelligent , funny , and talented in may ways. He was also a big pain in the ass sometimes. He was a tough guy with a good heart. We had our share of people wanting to start trouble with us for no good reason and there was nobody i would have rather had by my side through it. He was like the brother i never had.

    His family was kind enough to take me into their home and give me a place to stay when i was barely an adult and had nowhere to go. I will forever be grateful for having him and his family in my life. My heart goes out to them all now. I wish i had been in New York more to spend more time with my good old friend. he will live on , in the memories we shared and i’ll remember you when i hear many songs and other reminders.

    I wish i had a chance to come back to NY and spend more time with you all these years later in our lives. Even though i haven’t been around in years , i’m glad we kept in touch. I hope i get to see you again my friend. I hate goodbyes. So , ill see you later.
