Sincerest condolences to all the family. The world is a better place for having John and Ann in it. I’ll always be grateful that our paths crossed and we became neighbors for awhile.
So sorry to hear about John’s passing. I’m glad it was peaceful. The best memory I have of John was the last time we saw him at Don and Elaine’s house in Victoria some years ago. We had a great party and discussed the benefits of “relative warranty”, which John thought was quite hilarious.
