My dear friend John, you were the most honest man I ever knew. I respected your ability to speak your mind, even when it was hard to hear, you were usually right. My surrogate father with a wicked sense of humor and a fierce sense of right and wrong. I thank you for being the voice of reason on so many occasions and for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself. I will miss you with all my heart. My love to Linda, Nicole, T and the entire family.
