I’m so sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. I have not been in touch with him for a few years, I have not been in touch with him for a few years, but not through the lack of effort on our part. John seemed to not want to socialize after his first stroke. I tried for several months, but to no avail. We just drifted apart. He was still very much in my thoughts and our hearts, please let me know when his celebration of life is as I would love to attend. Once again my heart felt sorrow to all of you and I if you require any assistance, I would be there for all of you. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

Jess, Fred, and Brad,
I was very sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. John helped shape part of who I am today, and was a role model to me in my later teens and early twenties. He was tough, smart, hardworking, and had a big heart.
My sincerest condolences for your loss,
