I would like to send once again my deepest condolences, love, sympathy and prayers to John's family during this time of tremendous loss. I will never forget all the great times are family's shared swimming at Mom's pool. It seems like it was just yesterday. You will always be loved and appreciated and never forgotten. Rest in peace my brother, from Paul Brown.
