Hello! I worked with Big John in the paint booth at ABB for about 15 years. He was a great guy to work with! We both liked old cars and I just always liked John. As you can see my last name is Ooley, John started calling me oogie. I told my wife about John's name fior me she love it. To this day she calls me oogie.

Darlene, Brian & Tina,

We are sorry for your loss. You will all be in our prayers. John was a good man and will be sadly missed. I have many fond memories of us all being together at the many family gatherings in Odon. I fondly remember how it was a big deal for me to finally be old enough get to play cards with John and the other grownups.

With Love,

Tom and Denise Bechtel
