I miss John's fun spirit and smile. We have rocks from his yard around the pond at our house, and I think of John often in that peaceful setting.

Garry, I am so saddened by your loss. John & I met working at AT&T in the 1990'S & grew closer when I moved to Bethlehem PA in the early 2000's. I truly regret not immediately accepting his multiple invitations to visit you both at the lake house. He was a sweet person with a great sense of humor. I miss him terribly & can only offer you my deepest condolences. xoxo
