Thanks for the memories of all the fun and laughter we shared. Our trips to Notre Dame and to the mountains. We were lucky we didn't shoot each other. Our times in the orphanages that weren't so good but at least we had each other. You are my "little" brother and my friend and I will cherish our lifetime memories. You are an angel now with Dad, Mom, and Trish. Watch over us and until we meet again, remember we love you.
Sir Arthur and Queen Kae.

Thanks for the memories. I remember our fun trips to Notre Dame and how proud we were of our team, our trips to the mountains where we were lucky that we didn't shoot each other. The times in the orphanages that weren't so good except that we had each other. You were my "little" brother and shouldn't be leaving us now. I will cherish the love and laughter of a lifetime with you as my brother and my friend. Rest in peace.
Love you always and forever.
Sir Arthur and Queen Kae

Thanks for the memories. We had some of the best times of our lives up in the mountains. We were lucky that we never shot each other or got gobbled up by the big, black bears. You will always be my "little" brother. I remember the trips to Notre Dame and how proud we were of our favorite team. Say "hi" to Dad, Mom, and Trish and watch over the rest of us to keep us out of trouble. Love you, bro. Until we meet again.
King Arthur and Queen Kae.

While a great man has left us he will live forever through the memories that we all cherish. He was always willing to help with a hug, a talk, or a kick in the butt it always came with love and some sort of Johnism. Love you "guy" glad you will have eternal peace.
