NOTES: John, along with his brother, Fred, was always up to some mischief during his youth. According to Freeman Prasse, John collected speeding tickets as a hobby. John's death was quite tragic. He was giving blood to a friend who had blood cancer. Common practice at the time was direct transfusion, from the arm of one to the arm of the other. It seems that somehow the blood flow got reversed and John soon contracted the disease and subsequently died.
