John, after you called me twice without leaving a message I realized I may be correct in my concern. I just found this online and I am so sorry for your loss; my deepest sympathy goes out to you. He was a sweet man. You have been a very devoted and loving son in the ability to keep your dad at home and take care of him the way you did the last number of years. I am sure your bond deepened during this time and only hope that he passed peacefully, and is reunited with your mom.

John will be missed more than words can express. He was the kindest of men and his welcoming smile and love of family and friends will always be remembered. He left a lasting impression on all the lives he touched. I was blessed to have this special man in my life. And to his son John, I am saddened for your loss. You were a gift to your dad; your love and devotion to making the last years of his life such happy ones was extraordinary.
