John was a wonderful man who had a great laughter and a warm smile, but the thing I will always remember is the twinkle he put in Jeanne's eyes when ever he was near or when she would talk about him. It was obvious that he was her heart. In the last year that twinkle in her eyes had started to fade and fill with tears as she talked about Johns health. John fought hard and strong but he could no longer fight. Good Bye John - I'm sure you are at the biggest and finest fishing hole, throwing in your line.
