John Eickholt

John became a very good friend of ours. We met him one day driving around the lake. We saw a vacancy sign by his cabin. That was over 25 years ago. We spent two weeks at his cabin every year since.
A few of my memories of John were his love of westerns which he revived in me. Didn´t matter if it was pouring rain or sun shining, we would watch western after western.
We also shared our love of talking about politics and how like-minded we were in that. We had so many conversations.
He always wanted us to extend our vacation and made it very hard to leave, but obligations were always calling.
He always made us feel at home. It was like our second home for over a quarter of a century- even rainy days were great.
We went on many boat rides together and loved every minute - best vacations we ever had.
We will never forget the corn from his garden. We would time our vacations so that we´d be there when that corn was ready. Best ever - none better anywhere.
I´ll always remember his good nature and smile and kind heart.
Rest in peace, John. I´ll never forget you.
