I am blessed to have had time with Uncle John as an adult in addition to growing up as his niece. I so enjoyed his company and talking to him on the phone. I will cherish our trip last year to upstate NY. Though he will be greatly missed by all who knew him, I will still hold a small piece of him in my heart.
