dear Peggy, I will miss my uncle John very much I will always remember when he was finally the one with enough patience to teach me how to ride my bike. From that day forward I rode my bike up the street to visit him.

To the Brown family, please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your husband/father/and grandfather. I had the pleasure of getting to know John (I worked for the Podiatrist that he went to). We always got to talk, he was sooooo proud of his family whom he loved dearly. He was a very kind and intellegent man. I know that he will be missed greatly. God Bless You John, and bless John's family, also.
