Virginia, it's been a very long time since we've talked but I have great memories of how happy you and John were and what a great couple you made. Just to jar your memory, think of John O'Keefe and AMD. So sorry for your loss and sending big hugs and condolences. Love, Pat (McKenzie) Hitchcock

He loved you and was so proud of you?

I will always remember you, John, as someone very nice, cheerful, kind. Thank you for all the messages , likes, on Facebook.

I picture him happily tending to his garden. He was a good man.

Thank you for your kind words
Virginia

I shared John's hometown of Junction, Tx., growing up there. I knew his mother and daddy and grandparents, and some of his aunts and uncles. Please accept my most sincere condolences in your loss!
