I am one of the bridge players who enjoyed John so much. He was a good player and gave us a good laugh when he had a smart comeback when given unsolicited advice.. We had no idea he had passed away and were all heartbroken when we heard the news this week. He was a lovely man and gave us many good memories. My condolences to your family. Ruth Rasmussen
