Just a quick comment as a follow up to my previous comment after I belatedly learned of John´s passing. I still often talk to my adult grandchildren about those visits to John and Bev when my grandchildren were still preschool age. I sometimes drove John´s tractor during hay season. I also maintained their ham radio equipment. Still miss them

It was devastating to learn at such a late date, nearly five years after John's passing, while I searching for current contact info to talk about old times. I miss those visits to John and Bev and seeing their buffalo, wolves and the macaw. John and Bev were long time friends, fellow amateur radio operators and for a short time lived near our lake house in Floral City. It had been too long since our last visit. 73

John was my uncle. He married my dad's sister Beverly. I have many memories of visiting him and my aunt in Florida. May God bless him.
