Kim & Family:
All the years I've known your family one thing stood out, and that was just how much john loved being a father & husband. I saw that same love at being a grandpa. He made me laugh, helped me through life, and taught me the importance of family. These past couple of days I cant help but smile at many happy moments I enjoyed with John. He will always be remembered.
