My "Great" Uncle John came in my life when I was a teenager. He was my Grandmothers younger brother (she was the oldest of 12). He found me in Hawaii when I was 16. Even though he wasn't there for long, he made such an impression on me. In some ways I think he helped save me. He made me want to be like him and to live a different life than I was living. He was so smart and kind. I guess you never know the difference you can make on someone.

John was also active with the Bellingham Central Lions club for a time. That was how I got to know him. I always enjoyed time spent on various volunteer activities with John and loved hearing about his varied careers. My most sincere condolences to his family.
