"Hey John - Do you have any more vegetables back there?"
Working with John at the Food Pantry was always a fun Saturday morning! He liked to kid with everyone and loved taking a ribbing from his son, John, as well.
I will remember his as a kind man who cared for everyone he met.
To the Gossett family - Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss.
