I was a good friend of David Redgate who was my classmate, and I was his landlord. I was very fond of brother John who had a nice way about him. John was a very caring person, May he rest in peace.

I met John a few years ago and he was such a sweet, caring man. I enjoyed my time with him, talking about his family and his life story. He was so special and I will never forget his smiling eyes.
