I will always remember the conversations I had with John. We would talk about the military and everything else while drinking a beer or two. I am glad I got to visit with him while he was at the cats facility. God Bless you John. You will never be forgotten.

I read the obituaries daily. I want to say that I’m sorry for your loss of your brother, (I didn’t know you were a twin Joan) and uncle.
Seeing this floods my mind and heart with such precious memories of you both. I love you!!!
