Sadly, John Dillashaw passed away this morning. As soon as I have more details and information, I will share it. The memorial will probably be held in Marco Island.
JD and I were friends though the years. I remember him pulling up to the old Captain Cache restaurant on bird road next to the Palmetto expressway. I had a job there and he pulled in to talk to me. The last five years of his life sometimes I spoke to him once a week. I marked his house on Google Earth in the mountians of west Tennessee. Due to lack of mobility due to both of his legs being amputated due to diabetes. I would talk to him for a hour about old times his and mine and ours. It is unfortunate how some of our lives turn out. I am a vet he wasn't. Had been a vet he could of had medical help with diabetes. Never the less we lost another school mate. Miss you JD.
I will never forget John...he always has dreams to fulfill and I hope he did find many of them...I remember him telling me he married and princess and also he was a neighbor in west Bird Miami also married to a nudist..how he had many friends/people visit him to be greeted by a topless women...those were the days...may your ongoing trip help you find your nirvina and blessed peace in you soul...fondly in thought and spirit Juanita
