      I came here specifically to write the same thing. I just watched his bit on "Keeping it in the slot, right past the click" with his breathalyzer. Watching John completely changes my mood for the better every time I watch him. What a class act John was and such an important part of my little family as well. Here's a little drinkypoo for you John!

      I got lucky in life and I was good friend of his, barely a day passes without me thinking of him.😔
      He was the nicest guy to work with and create comedy with. He was very generous he even let me use a picture of him that he sells as the trademark of my movie company. (I originally used a picture of him pretending to be drunk and he said "If you are going to use a picture of me, you might as well use a good one."😅😄😂😆) So I used a great picture of him waving and wearing a captains hat thst his wife took.
      It is so unfair we lost him, but his humanism will live in us forever.
      And no he didn't drink in real life. I think he had like one rum and coke each Christmas with his brothers and he had some goofy name for his annual drink. He had a bad back and he only smoked weed. I can't believe how many people thought he was like Mr. Lahey in real life, that always made us laugh when kids on forums would say he is "An old drunk". They could not be more wrong. John had an IQ of 1,000 and ⅜ plus he held a world record doing some form of the game "Cribbage".

I work with stone, and the thought of your own mortality is in the foreground whenever you make something out of stone that has the chance of having hundreds of useful years in it; compared to our very brief blip of existence on this earth. It always puts my mind at ease to see someone come to the conclusion that this man has so gleefully come to. I accept my mortality, but wish to have a reach beyond the grave. And maybe, just maybe the internet too will act as a stamp of time to mark the progression of us as individuals. To Imagine that one day my ancestors could come upon this and glean my life's intention makes me wonder. Good luck to all who wish to make their mark on the world. Concrete and granite seem like a good start.
