I saw a posting on the Memories & History of Manitowoc facebook site that John had passed away. Someone posted that news in response to a photo posted there of John on roller skates at the roller rink. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It sounded like he led not only a good life, but a generous life. The world needs more people like him.
I have not seen either of you since high school, but I never forgot the two of you. I remember seeing John with his band then. Please accept my condolences.
John will be missed. I worked at his shop in Fort Myers while I was in college. He allowed me to return on college breaks multiple times and was as generous a man you could meet. His family was always good to me and my heart goes out to them for their loss. I’ll always cherish my time at their shop as a young college kid and the memories & friendships that have stuck with me. God Bless John and the Engelbrecht family.
