I was not around John very much but my impression was that he loved being with people. He always seemed up beat and happy-caring and gentle. I know you will all miss him very much. Hold onto the happy memories.
We love you.

Barbara, I am so sorry about John.
I thought he was a very nice man.
I remember him marrying Jerry and
I back many years ago. He was a
big help to me during some trying
times that I had. He will be re-
membered as a loving person that
people loved and he loved them.
If there is anything I can do for
you please let me know.
