I work for Weilmuenster & Wigginton, P.C. From the moment I met John, I could tell he was full of life. He particularly loved fishing. I remember early on when he was not quite so ill, he came into the office to drop off some papers and was so excited that he was leaving for the weekend to go fishing. I hope he is finally at peace. With fond memories and deep sympathy, Julie Wilson
