We are saddened to here of John´s passing, He was always so kind, he was a wonderful man. As a dentist he was a perfectionist, my wife worked by his side for 6-7 years. He was demanding of her but taught her to be the best. He was so generous to us over these years even sharing his home on Sanibel with us! He will surely be missed!
