When I became the Killelea's neighbor 13 years ago, I think John was surprised the woman of the house was the gardener. Thru out the years he would come into my yard to check on us and see what yard project I was working on (or be looking for Henry) and would often lend me tools and help me out. John was always so helpful to me with a smile and a fun story. John's yard always looks like it could be in a magazine. I will miss my favorite neighbor! Now it's my turn to help and support Marianne in her yard ;)

I worked with John and will certainly miss his sense of humor. He was great to work with and has been and will be sorely missed. I am happy that I was able to see him around Christmas time and he looked happy and peaceful. RIP, John.
