I tried to call John at least once a month to check on him. He showed his needle work at one of my art shows. I will miss our little chats. He was a very special man.

I remember John as a wonderful leader in scouting in a troop @ Linnwood School. Some of his relatives - the Millers--Jim and Ri chard ---were in the same troop (14) and a part of my particular unit. John was always very helpful in getting each scout to the next level of advancement. He will be sorely missed.Love in christ Tom Hague.
