My brother and I just found out. Very sad. We both knew John well years ago in the late 60's-70's. A real gentleman and AWESOME dancer!!

Dear loved ones of John, I was one of many who met John and was part of his care team in his final months of life. He seemed such a gentle, thoughtful, accepting man. May God's comfort, peace, and strength be with you all at this time.
