Nancy & family,
I just heard of John's passing this evening. I was aware of John's struggle with MS. One memory I have is serving on jury duty one summer with John. It was calming to be in that situation with someone I knew. I will not be able to attend the funeral due to a previous commitment but be assured that you will be in our thoughts and prayers. with Sincere sympathy
