I have many great memories of spending time with Uncle John. He was the youngest child of my Grandparents. And, he was still at home with them when I was young and spending a lot of time there. He seemed to be able to do anything...climb the mountains, gather food from the wild, grow crops from the earth, take down a bear, pick any instrument with strings and sing like a Pro. Uncle John has always been one of my most favorite people. He taught me to sing! What a beautiful gift to give and receive. I will miss you Uncle John.
