Big silent John. My heart goes out to the entire family. He was the nicest guy, with the nicest smile, I remember him working at Major Tire when I was little. He was a favorite of everyone there. Customers remembered him years after the family moved back to WV. Charlotte, and the kids, my prayers are with you, so sorry for your loss of a great gentleman.
My deepest sympathy’s, I will also remember John as “BIG JOHN” as a youngster growing up around the tire shop there wasn’t anything John could do or wouldn’t do for anyone. God Bless
To all the Kamppi family WE will miss John and John as John; and as far as John, no other. Quiet and reserved, a great listener; taking in each word as to honor each thought. JOHN will be missed.
