John was. a loving father to his children, When I would visit from Wisconsin, he was so welcoming and kind. The world has lost a great person. He is now with his parents. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his children and grandchildren. May God help you cope with such a great loss. Your family is in my prayers.
