Gráfico GeorgeI am sorry to hear of John's passing. He was loved by many and made many friends as part owner of Timber Ridge Bar & Restaurant. He also had quite a group of friends from the Silver Dollar Club and Chet's Sports Bar. He was a great provider for my brother Jimmy and myself. He took on a big responsibility when he married my mother. May he rest in peace and be reunited with friends and family that passed before him.
