I will always remember how kind John was. He and Karen shared in all our family gatherings happy or sad! He never hesitated to bring over all his tools to help me fix whatever was broken, or get the snowblower running well, after Jim passed. The many times we gathered over a glass of wine to solve the world´s problems, were some of my best memories! He and Karen were the best neighbors/family that anyone could ever have! We will miss you, John, rest in peace!
