So sorry for your loss. I have known John and Louise for many years because of my parents. My most fondest memory of John was when he came to the house with a monkey on his back. It was a puppet and it was halarious how he made my sister and I laugh using the monkey. We were just little then. God bless you all and you will see him again.
