Danielle, Johnny and JoMike - You are in my thoughts and prayers. Your dad always knew how to make people laugh and that is a great quality - never seen him without that smile on his face. It has been years since i have seen him but i am sure that smile was still there. All that mattered was in teh end your Dad had all of you around him and knew he was loved.

I had the privilege of working with JP at the Gateway clipper fleet . He always had a sense of humor . Most memorably him shaking a can of paint and the lid was not on tight and it came off and paint hit him in the face . his knowledge and his personality will be greatly missed . he definately left a impression on me. and to his family my deepest sympathies .
