So sorry to hear about John passing. He used to work at the Children's Garden with me for years. It wasn't til after he stopped that I learned he was in the service with my brother Don Richardson, who died at 93 a few years ago. Don would always come home for the family reunion first Sunday in August and he would have to go see his buddy, John. He relied on me or my brother Phil to take him. We had many enjoyable days listening to them reminisce about the old days and catch up on family and friends. I used to visit after Don died just to see how John was doing. Sorry to say I have not been in the last two years as health and family matters got in the way. Rest in peace friend John. Love ya, Gail Richardson Walder
