Bea,Doug,Christian,

John will always be in my memory, he was an amazing person, great friend, and very good at all he did. Any time I drive my 55 Chevy, I will think of John, and the fun we had in all of our adventures, As I sit in my office and look out the window, there are beautiful bushes blooming, I think of John, he really left his mark in the world, I met John in 1996, when he landscaped our office. He has been a real pleasure to be around since then. I have a part of him...
