Mr. and Mrs. Rykert and Family
I am so sorry for your loss. John was an amazing friend of mine for many years and my heart is breaking. John was funny, creative, caring, kind and loved his family deeply.
I already miss the hours upon hours we spent talking, laughing and teasing each other. I could never understand the thirst for history books he had and he would scratch his head at the "fluff stuff" that I was reading all the time.
I don't know how to say good bye, I wish I could have gotten there before he passed. He never knew that I had my flight booked.
I will cherish my memories of John forever and I will honour him and celebrate his life in any way I can.
God bless you, and all those who knew and loved John.
