I love my Uncle John. Many memories flash through my mind, all pleasant and many humerous. John's sense of humor and outstanding ability to implement it or rain it upon unsuspecting others was surpassed only by his good nature and thoughtful way!

Uncle John will be missed as will be John the dad and John the granddad and great granddad. But all will have a special memory of him which will bring a smile every once in a while.
