Dear Kathy,
It is with heavy hearts that our thoughts have turned to you and your family on learning of the loss of your dear John.
John was an inspiration to all who encountered him; a tough Marine driven by a force to assist others in their times of need. And boy, was he an inspiration to "get up and go" throughout his recent years of poor health. He never complained and, with your incredible encouragement, he set an example for all to emulate by carrying on as if he was the fittest guest at the Carriage House.
May your memories of John's smile and the good times shared with him for many decades provide comfort in your grief. And may John now Rest in Peace.
Fondly, Marlene & Bernie Cowan

We spent the last 3 winters with John and Kathy at the Carriage House in Florida. John loved the sun and was a true fighter to "keep going." He will be missed
