My Dear John,
You are truly and exceptional man! Thank you for your love. Your willingness to open yourself with your honest, venerable heart made me feel love in pure form. You renewed my hope and faith in true love. You'll be with me and in my heart forever. I'll see you again in God's timing.
I love you! ❤
Truly yours, Carol

Johnny was my oldest nephew. I remember how "busy" he used to be as a child. One day when he was about 18 months old, he kept running past me and his mother as we called his name repeatedly. Finally, I grabbed his arm and turned him around to look at me. I kiddingly said, "What do you have in your ears, beans?" and then I looked and he had stuffed both ears with noodles from chicken noodle soup! Such a card! While I haven't seen Johnny in years, I often think of that day and smile.

I knew John when he worked for WAyne Pigment. He was knowledgable, resourcesful and well respected within the coating industry. He was also helpful to me and had a very good presence with customers. I will always remember his sense of humor. He will be missed. May he Rest In Peace.
