I was John's former wife, and the Mother of our combined 8 children.

His passing was sudden, thankfully he did not suffer. I spoke with him by phone a few days ago, and he told me that this past year had been the best of his life. As our children live all over the country, he was able to spend quality time with most all of them before settling in North Carolina with the 4 oldest children and their families.

John will be greatly missed by all of us that Loved him, and his many friends.

He'll be Forever in our Hearts.

Happy Valentines Day J,

DD
