John, Thank you for your contribution to the soccer world. I’ve known you foe many years. You were not perfect BUT you were real. You will be missed. Thanks for all you did.
Karen and I had the privilege of getting to know John the last couple of years through a mutual support group. John was so much fun to talk and interact with during our meetings. I trust the Holy Spirit will give comfort to Connie and the rest of the family members during this difficult time. Lord bless you John.
John, you were a stand-up guy who always went the extra mile and then some. Thank you for being a friend and supporter to my brother Eric, and all my best to your family.
I met John around 2000 in Irving at the river bottoms. Then I became a referee. I appreciate John for his dedication and support especially his mentoring my sons who are young referees. I always looked forward to see John running the clock when I reffed HS soccer in Irving, I will miss you.
