John was the best neighbor anyone could ever have!
He continued to give our dog biscuits long after his dog, Pepper, had passed. We shared our gardens' bounty with one another as well as our homemade baked goods. You could count on John if you needed anything.
John will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
