RIP!!! yet another “Notch” for Hwy 36!!! :-C
Sad when we lose a community member, especially from a long time local family.
Is Johnnie the same person who had a motorcycle incident on 101 last year?
Wonder if he was related to Jim Schaafsma. Went to high school with Jim. Highway 36 does not give you a second chance. Prayers to the family.
The John Schaafsma involved in the motorcycle was nowhere near 65 years old. I believe the deceased is his dad. Sad to say.
correct
Your statement doesn’t make sense
