I loved watching John roll around with Robert and play in the backyard with Robert and Reyna. The kiddos are lucky to have such a special angel looking over them.

John - It was a pleasure know you. You always seemed to find a way to make everyone laugh. I will always remember how excited you and Aaron were to get that Apt., how you and Aaron would sit and play your guitars for hours, and of course, our multiple Hungry Howies trips. Thanks for the fond memories.
