May you always peddle on... I hope you found the sunshine you so deserve... Find my puppy please & keep an eye out for her till I get there... Now she has a new best bud till I come & then you guys can show me the ropes... I'm sure you'll have them all figured out & improved before I can hug my friend once again. Xoxo

Johnny & I met in Cadets. He was quick witted & had no fear. I admired how truly special he was over the past few years. No matter what he had on his plate Johnny always had enough in his own cup to give for others. In my entire time of knowing him I have never heard him speak ill of others. When i lost a fishing friend of my fathers on the ice after doing CPR I was devastated. Johnny knew this man & helped me through it. I don't think I ever told him how much his support meant. One time Johnny offered to ride out to Legal just to give me a hug because I was down. He may never have made it, But im certain if I said "ok" he would have given it all he had. Crazy Johhny we called him back then, and he was... Crazy in the best possible way because he cared for others so deeply he put them before self. His zest for life was infectious & you couldn't help fall in love with who he was as a person. I'll fondly remember him giving me colts that we would smoke on the bus & that he always made me feel special just because of who he was. Johnny had a wisdom beyond his years that one could easily see if they read between the lines. I will miss him very much on my annual lap around the sun this next year as his birthday is the day after mine & will live a little for him so that he can continue his laps around the sun with me. The world needs more Crazy Johnny's. Heartfelt condolences to John's Mom and family during this difficult time. I will miss seeing & talking to him, but a little piece of him will always be with me so he truly never dies.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
My deepest condolences, Oksanna.
Gerry
