John was a part of my childhood, a part that I treasure.
I imagine a heavenly reunion with his beloved Arlene and his wonderful mom and dad..
My deepest sympathy to his sons and to his brother Ronnie.

My late wife Patti had the pleasure of working for John at Scan Tool for many years. He was a true gentleman and we had the pleasure of being with him and Arlene on many happy occasions. I live in Florida now and am unable to attend his services but will pray for him and his family.
Sincerely,
Dale Seymour

John and Jason,
Sending you love and prayers from the Budnick’s in Florida. So many wonderful memories of our families spending time together as we were growing up. Both your mom and dad have a special place in our hearts. I am sorry we will not be able to make it back to Stratford this weekend but we will be thinking about and praying for your family. Todd
John you will always be in my heart, so glad I work for you for so many years. I started working for you in 1999 when the company was in Stratford, you always working you loved been at work. I remember one conversation we had about Arlene and the next day you brought me a book she use to read about dreams. I still have it ❤️ your an Angel in heaven watching over your kids ( family).
The loss of a very good man. John was the best cousin-in-law I could ever have had. He was accepting, understanding and a whole lot of fun. I will miss you, John and that warm, wonderful smile.
I worked for John 20 yrs. I learned a great deal about mold making as I watched him work. John was even tempered, cool headed and always had a good solution. He gave me every opportunity to learn and grow as a mold maker and individual. I owe my success in the mold making industry to the foundational knowledge I learned working for John. He will always have my respect and gratitude. I feel fortunate to have known him. May God’s comfort and grace be with the Gotch Family in their time of loss.
