I had been in a relationship with John's daughter Julie for a time and it always amazed me how John had accepted me as a part of his family. He was a very kind and loving man with whom I was able to have long conversations with as easily as I could with my own father. I'm comforted by the fact that one day I will see him again in a much more perfect place than we live in now and we can pick up on those wonderful talks where we left off. Until then please rest in peace Brother. Attached is a picture of John and his mother Adele.
