He will be truly missed. My husband and I worked with him at McAninch Corporation. He was a great friend. We thought the world of him. Lots of fun and laughs. He made friends everywhere he went. Thoughts and Prayers to all of you.

Dancer and I ran around together for 6 years whenever he was on a break from the road construction. Winters of 2013 to 2019. We had a huge amount of fun, made a lot of road trips, and bought a lot of interesting things. He was a fantastic friend who worked hard and played hard. John Dancer, you will be missed by a lot of people. I hope to see you on the other side. Your friend, Steve Helm
