John, we will all miss you deeply. I loved talking to you and listening as you told stories and your infectious laugh. I can still see you on your tractor ploughing the fields getting ready to plant.
Times have changed and all the wonderful people I grew up with in Scituate are one by one leaving us.

Love to Mary and your children,

Peter Andrade
