John was a kindred spirit for me. almost all of our interest overlap from amateur radio to preparedness to about everything else. I loved our conversations and the short time we got to associate. I will sincerely miss him. If I can ever be of service to you, Joyce, I would be honored to give back to you for his and your friendship. I'm glad I got to know both of you. Becky and I have you in our hearts and prayers.

Joyce so sorry for your loss. John was a wonderful teacher, mentor and inspired us at EMA and the Marysville HAM club. He was always positive never complained and loved to share his knowledge. Joyce please reach out if you need someone

I am very sad to hear of John's (The Ohio Prepper to me) passing. We have been friends for a few years now. He and I would talk for hours on the phone, and he was always the teacher and explainer, always available when I needed help for whatever project I was working on at the time. He prodded me to get my ham license, to which I am forever grateful. He will always have a special spot in my heart.

Prayers for the family during this difficult time.

John was a great guy. I feel fortunate to have been able to get to know him. He was very knowledgeable in many different things. He was a good mentor and has touched the lives of a lot of people both young and old. He will be missed by many.
Thank you Joyce for being so supportive of John and the many activities he was involved in, between the EMA meetings, Amateur Radio Club meetings and breakfasts and other activities where you accompanied him. I am fortunate to also have gotten to know you through those activities. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Lydic family, very sad to hear of John’s passing. I taught Hunters education for a number of years at Richwood gun club. He was a smart man and we had many fun times.
I used to call him Mr Gadget! I truly believe if he was ever lost in the woods he would have been found with a full buffet of wild game and almost all the comforts of home in the great outdoors.
Thoughts and prayers to family.

John was a good friend to me. We shared similar interests and I always enjoyed our conversations. I will miss his sense of humor, his encyclopedic knowledge of many subjects, and his friendship.
