Susan,
I couldn't have been more surprised and saddened today, just now learning of John's passing!! About a week ago I mailed out (to your old Danville address) a brief letter announcing my 'semi' retirement. The letter was returned, prompting me to browse the internet for potentially an updated address. This is how I learned!! What fond memories I have of our relationship, going back to the days of Guest Supply!! How well I remember how fondly he spoke of you and the kids! Makes me sad!! Trust you're doing good! Be well!

Hi Susan.
I just found out today of John's passing ( 9-10-18) when I got a call about remodeling your old house. Very sorry and shocked to hear of this. I wish you and the kids the best.
