I met John in 2003 at a family reunion, in Virginia. He was my father's first cousin, we shared an enjoyable conversation, as he was a orthopedic surgeon, and I was a retired operating room nurse. He was also the son of my very beloved great Aunt Frances, sister of my dear sweet grandmother, Lucille. The Fauntleroy family were a family who spent so much time in each other's company as friends as well as family, they had love to spare, having been part of the legacy of Bruce and Hattie who were sweethearts everyday, never apart, and dearly loved their children. My sincerest sympathy and kindest regards I wish to extend to his entire family
