So many good memories from a guy that adopted me as a friend when I worked for him as a lot porter in high school a long time ago. A chance fortunate meeting in life that brought a rare true friend, for that I have been blessed. The planet lost a good man.

Sorry to hear about John’s sudden passing. Knew him many years from restaurants I worked at. Mainly knew John from Hillside Smithville & Roxannes in Platte City. John was a solemn man a joke from time to time, but always a kind word. My condolences to the family and friends 🧡. Janice E Stottlemyre Hopson
