Not only was he a dedicated police officer but alsoo a dedicated family man to his wife, Betty and children, Lisa and Mike. A hole was blown through our family by the man who shot John that can never be filled.

I was blessed to know John and rode on patrol with him on various occassions. John had a, "Super" sense of humor, you could always depend upon John for a few good laughs before the shift was over with. John was a very laid back man, not much up-set him, easy going and a delight to be around. He made an impact upon all who were blessed to know him and I consider it an honor to have served with him and called him, my friend. RET. OPD Sgt. Tom LeBlanc, from 1961 to 1986.
