I just found out about this! I’m at a loss of words. I worked with John at Topline and he was like a father to me. He taught me pretty much everything I know about working on trucks. He was such an amazing man. I didn’t get much of a chance to go out and visit him but I tried to in late June and he wasn’t home. I am deeply saddened by this. He will be forever missed.
Jim,Ann,Carolyn,Al and family. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Polachek family. We are so sorry for your loss. May peace be with you all during this difficult time. – Jeff and Jennifer Miller
John was a great man. I have never seen a better understanding mechanic,welder and fabricator. He could do it all. And the ” words of wisdom” that he conveyed to the truck drivers were some of if not the best that I have ever heard. He was the most knowledgeable man I ever met in his field. I truly hope that he meets up with is belove Missy,Stetson and Jeff. I will miss him also .
Jim and Ann, sorry for your loss. May god Bless you and help you at this time.
My sincere condolences to the Polachek family. May our merciful Father grant you comfort and peace at this difficult time. RIP John.
