JP was an extraordinary man. Quit and easy going. I'm so glad I got the chance to know him. He was so sweet. He fought a good fight and won the race. He is now in the presence of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you Gladys and the family. I love you and I know God will be with you now and comfort you. With love, Diane C Martin
