John Petroff has passed
It is with great sadness that The Missouri USAPL reports that John Petroff of St. Louis, MO has passed away. John had a heart attack in the first week of December and had battled some health problems over the last few years.
John was 52 and had recently retired just a year or so back. He played a big part in the early days of the ADFPA serving as Secretary/Treasure. Along with that, he co-directed several memorable State and National Championships with Dr. Mike Cissell until 1994 when he stepped away from the sport.
John was married to Kate and also leaves behind 2 teenagers, John Jr. who is 17 and Sarah who is 16. We had a lot of great times with John and I for one can say he will sure be missed.
