Dear John

The kindness and generosity you showed me and my late wife Elaine (Caram) Dalton will always be with me and appreciated.

You were a good person for me to emulate. You had great style.

Dear John,

Thank you for being my friend. And a true blue one at that. Layoffs, age, distance, health issues or the general distractions of life did not deter your loyal friendship. In your eyes, once a friend, always a friend, and you always made me feel valued and appreciated.

Thanks, too, for the laughs. Throughout the years, we've shared some crazy stories and you always joked about writing it all down some day. You derived much amusement from my being electronically-and-plumbing-challenged, but at the same time, generously offered advice and guidance (wisely, from a distance).

I always wished the best for you, so it made me happy to see how fiercely supportive your family was of you, ensuring that every measure was taken to keep you healthy and happy. You were a lucky man to have that, and you deserved nothing less.

It was an honor to call you my friend, and a blessing that you considered me yours. I don't know how or why our paths crossed in this lifetime, but I do know that as of November 18, 2009, my world got a little smaller. But I also know that the group of angels that watch over me just got a little bigger.

I'll miss you.
