"Sorry to hear about the passing of John. I met him with Paul Solmes playing the horses. John was the best email joke sender ever! I always enjoyed the time I spent with him at the horses. I can remember showing him how to use the self serve horse bet kiosk at the Dawson Creek casino when it first opened. I went and showed him what buttons to push, then I got to the end and just bet on a quick pick as an example. When I finished the ticket came out. He kept staring at the console and just said ‶How scientific″. I thought that was funny. At Evergreen Park one time I had a five dollar voucher and I was walking up to bet it. I got half way and turned back and looked at John. He held up the number 5 from across the room. I put $5 to win on 5. He won at 9-1. Bought John a beer and said thanks. Rest in peace fella. God bless."
