I will miss John, he was a great brother in-law and friend. I valued the visits every year , and always tried to take time off to catch up and just hang out. John marched to the beat of his own drum, I'm sure he's creating some challenges for St. Peter right now:-)

There just are no words to describe John, you had to experience him in person and if you did you knew what a special person he was. John was the first to jump in to help, and he was beyond generous. John was the best person I have ever met. He literally made me laugh everyday for the past 13yrs, and was a phone call away if I needed anything. John was my best friend, and he leaves a void in my life that can never be filled. He taught me it was okay to be unlike all the other reindeer.
