I had the pleasure of meeting John through my late husband, Carlo. My first and lasting impression is that he´s such an upbeat, happy-go-lucky guy. I´m sad for his family and friends who will no longer be able to laugh and share with him. John, I hope that you and Carlo are continuing your wonderful friendship in heaven.
