John was always a hoot to be around at FerrySToc and I enjoyed his company.
My condolences to his family at this time of loss.

John loved to share his childhood stories. One that I will never forget is about a mule, “ol’ Jack,” and how Jack terrorized the town my being hitched to a cart in which he did not like. One day Jack took off, dragging that cart through backyards, up and down the street, through a cemetery. John said you could hear that mule and the racket of the cart for blocks around. John and his brothers had trouble catching Jack. So, they just let him run and run until he was so tuckered out and shaking a lot. Then Jack let out the most mournful sound. I sure got a kick out of John telling that story… Ol’ Jack…

Sad news indeed. I'll always cherish one of the late night campfire conversations I had with him and a few others over at Terry's farm during Moonshine one year. I also remember that there might have been a few that were trying to get some sleep that night who might not have thought so highly of it. 
I don't know who took this photo but I had just spent the last 15 minutes chatting with John while getting ready to leave for home after the last Post-Post-Post Moonshine from 2010 and Terry came up to say goodbye. I'll miss them both...

I knew that I had this old photo of John & Keith somewhere. 2 brothers of different mothers! We sure had a lot of laughs together.

There will be a celebration of life for Sisk in May. See below:
I'm planning on attending. Might look for a convenient place to stay as although only 2 hours from Paris Landing (FerrySToc) I might toss down one or three...

I'm pretty sure casual riding camping attire will be acceptable ...

Just looked closely at my first picture above; is that you Bug taking a dump behind Butter's motorcycle? Not sure but I think I recognize the ankles.

Not me. I don't wear white socks. Besides, I'd be more likely to use his top case. Probably Branson.

I sure wish I could make it for John’s service. I don’t think I can get off work. Just thinking about the stories that will be shared makes me laugh and smile. I’ll be sure to have a shot or two of FireBall in his memory.

I may head that way as well. Only 310 miles from home so I may stay overnight nearby and head home Sunday.I'm planning on attending. Might look for a convenient place to stay as although only 2 hours from Paris Landing (FerrySToc) I might toss down one or three...
