John and I played trumpet and sat next to each other in the Seabreeze H.S. Band. We had great times together. I lived in Orlando and knew he had a dental practice in Pine Hills. I was saddened on learning of his death at our 50th high school reunion in 2013. How did John die if you don't mind my asking.

Oh Lola....... sweet Lola, my heart bleeds for you. So short a time, but powerful, yes? Wow, I'm speechless, in shock, but wanted to convey my thoughts and prayers to you. I remember the aura that you gave each other.... peaceful, proud, tranquil, determined, but comfortable happiness. It will forever be an inspiration and hope of my "someday"...... May God cradle you in his hands when you need it most. My life is richer having met you, and I thank you for the wisdom, advice, and caring you shared with me in our brief time together. I love you, big big hug. Juli (Jackson)
