Think of The Greatest Generation and think of Uncle John. Duty, service, faith. A rich,full life.
Among newphews and nieces, Uncle John was our favorite. Funny and caring. He was capable of engaging anyone in the room. He lived his life with a "joie de vivre" that we would all do well to try to emulate.
Thanks Uncle John! We love you.
