He was not your typical mechanic--that's for sure.
I met John when he ran the Exxon station on Brace Road.
He had art work, books and a collection of unusual friends from various walks of life frequenting the establishment. He introduced me to Eddy the cement contractor and David the dental professor and and I introduced him to Nick the stockbroker and Roger the Judge.
When he tired of corporate shenanigans and closed the station, I was concerned that he'd end up despondent--but he was full of surprises-- he returned to college and finished his degree. Most importantly, he did not boast of this accomplishment, ever. He enjoyed teaching and I feel received a good deal of fulfillment by doing so.
His family, students and I will miss him.
