"Johnny B" as he was known to his co-workers and friends was simply one of the finest men you could have the privilege and honor of knowing. He surely personified the "human" of human being, and put the "friend" in friendship. He set a standard that many of us can only hope to live up to. He was a really great guy and will be missed by many. John was a very dedicated and loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather to his family. He had a very strong conviction to his faith and lived his life accordingly.Services were entrusted to Kaniewski Funeral Home of South Bend, Indiana.
