I remember his brother James and very sorry for your family's loss James. I assume he might have been your brother. God remember said in Jesus, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you even unto the end of the World"!

Graduated with John and was friends throughout the years. Would meet him at the restaurant in Leesburg before they closed. Saw him at our class reunion and spoke with him for quite awhile. He was well loved by several people. He will be truly missed.
