Please accept my sincere sympathy on John's death. The service today was very meaningful today (March 2,2013). The funeral was undoubtedly the way John would have liked and I would say that the service was a wonderful finale to a live well lived, in fact in view of his achievements, perhaps 2 or 3 lifes well lived.
