We wish we could be there for the funeral of the great man that John was named for. Phil and Dawn Hanks sure admire Percy and all the support he lent them in Samoa. We were honored to have met him at our wedding 13 years ago and then again a few years ago at Nancy's wedding. It's a real honor for John to be named after such a great and honorable man.
