Prayers go out to Anne and all of John's family. I met John on Face Book/enjoyed his sense of humor and his outlook on life in general. I was hoping to meet John and Anne as I was going back to CT this month to attend a family wedding. I feel in my heart that I have already "met John"... However one met John, "to know him, is to love him". Rest In Peace, dear man.
