I did not know that John has passed away. Really I didn't know he wasn't well.He was a special guy. We knew each other through the Sycamore A Club and went on tours together. John was always smiling and laughed at his own stories which made them even funnier. I am so sorry for your loss! I know you will cherish your memories of John. He went way too young!!
