I worked in the same department with john for several years. My wife and i along with Buzzy and Mac Mckenzie and phyle Moseley and his wife went on many camping trips together and it was always fun. Parties and John and Louise house was always a feast of good food. Yes this was years ago but still a fond memory. I knew Louise from high school although I was a year older than she was so the two of them go a way back.

When I think of John, I hear his giggle. I can't put in to words what his friendship meant to Dad and what great friends both he and Louise were. Beautiful souls who will be missed.
