We shared many good times together in Readsboro as you neighbors and lots of laughs! You were a standup guy all the way!

I’m sad to read of John’s passing. I remember him very fondly from my early years in Readsboro, when my parents owned a house within spitting distance of his property. He was always kind and when I picture him I see smiling and laughter. My father, Frank Merrigan, was very fond of John and was absolutely delighted to run into him one last time a few years back after not seeing each other for many years. Thinking of the Bolner family and others who loved John.
