    We are so saddened to hear about the passing of John! He was the kindest and most gentle man who wore his heart on his sleeve! We have such fond memories of our hockey days with MYHA! John was an wonderful coach and intricate part of the success with the hockey program in Monticello! We will miss the way he would squint one eye when listening to what we were saying while in conversation! We will truly miss him! You are all in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time! God bless you all!
