Elise, even though I didn´t know John that well or meet him very often, I recall Janet speaking happily of the good times with you guys. The few times I recall, that is the picture I have, a great big smile, a very good choice. I am sending a donation to Hospice in his memory. Peace be with you and your family. Kieran Medley Smith

John was a long time friend. He and my husband (now dedesecesed) were in the Clavier Mens Club for many years and grew up tougher in the west end and played sports. John will join his buddies in heaven
