John, I learned that blood is most definitely not a necessity in a sibling. You have been my most true and real brother and I thank you! Thank you for loving my sister and the whole lot of us that came with marrying her! I will miss our monthly (ish) Sunday dinners, your quick wit and loyalty to your family. Fly high Johnny boy!
