John Smick - aka Sourkraut

[treemuncher]

Della went to post a happy birthday message on John's page and found out that he had passed back in January. We met at several events and always had good conversations and some laughs. I had even stopped in to visit him at home a couple of times after his riding had ceased. He is missed. I always enjoyed his company.

We are all on the same highway with different exits. The destination remains the same. I hope to see him again somewhere down the road, likely drinking a coffee and having a smoke with Bob Donaldson.

Sorry to hear this. He was a great man!

I felt pretty bad when Judy informed me of his passing, after I had posted a birthday message on FB. Sad.

Just yesterday, I was thinking about John, wondering how he was doing and if anyone had visited him lately.

He will surely be missed by many.

RIP

I met John at my one-and-only Moonshine appearance, 2017. We had a nice conversation and I will always remember him in kindness.

RIP John.

I'll miss John - He was always fun to spend time with.
Semper Fi my friend!

I had the same experience as Mac, left a birthday message on Facebook only to have John's wife, Judy, respond with the bad news. RIP Sourkraut

I haven't seen John in quite a while. He was always easy to get along with. Lord knows I tried many times to get him riled up and couldn't. I will remember John as a mild-mannered, easy-going man. No telling what Smick, Sisk and Donaldson are up to right now....probably enjoying pie, lots of laughs and a good smoke. I surely hope so.

I can't remember the event I was at when John showed off his Tap Dancing moves. He was really good at it. Nothing but good memories about John! RIP my friend.
