Barbara Kolafa says
It was with shock and sadness that I learned of John’s passing. I have fond memories of our family visits when we were young and always wished I had an older brother like Terry had, especially a handsome, smiling, accomplished hockey player and golfer.
My sincere condolences to all the family at this time of great loss.
