O "Sticky," how saddened I am to learn of your passing.
I remember a birthday conversation we had, and we were laughing about heading into our 70's. What happened?
There will always be those memories of changing seasons, life's simplicities, and friendships.
You spoke many times of going back, so now I envision you in your Model A and driving down Tarkio Road...
Rest in peace my longtime friend of over 50 years...

My heart is at a loss over the loss of a friend. My deepest condolences go out to John's immediate and extended family. May his proud and honorable soul Rest in Peace in heaven.

I didn't know your John, but his obituary reminded me of my John, who died suddenly in April. They must have been alike. I love the way you noted his pupper survivors by name and his pupper who predeceased him. We did the same for my John, but in his case they were cats. My John also supported such programs for children, so I will make a donation in memory of John Caola.Hugs, Carolyn
