Joanne,
Our family is devistated by the loss of John, he was a light in our lives that has been snuffed out far to soon. He was by far, no doubt, our children's favorite uncle. Everyone always knew where they stood with him because he was sure to let them know. More than a great brother-in-law, a friend who would help anyone who asked. We will miss him terribly. You and your family and John's spirit will always be in our prayers. He was special, he left his mark on all of us, we truely always enjoyed being in his company for we knew it would be a good time!
