Four years ago this day, you shed your earthly trappings and returned to Heaven, John, there to join loved ones who awaited you and become one of those dear souls who awaited your dear ones yet to come! Now Louise has rejoined you and I smile with the joyful thought of how many dear horses and dogs are with you now in Paradise! Lil Prince, my beloved cattle dog boy, returned to Heaven on December 22nd, 2024, after being at my side for six years and one day, and it's comforting to know that your calming voice welcomed him! Thank you for being such an inspiration to so many during your 88 years of earthly life!

John, today (June 9th, 2022) is your ninetieth birthday. It still doesn't seem real that you're not hard at work in that little brick office on Route 22 with the wonderful weathervane on the roof and the carousel horse in the waiting room! You always went out to say hello to my cattle dog boy as I was paying my bill. I loved that you and Louise rescued horses and dogs, also, which gave us a great deal in common. Plus ... my teeth miss you!!! God bless you, JJ!

John, each of your likes, loves and especially Facebook comments, means so very much more now than ever before. Thank you so much for being blessed to be counted among your friends for the past ten years! Thank you for loving my rescued cattle dog boys! Thank you for being such a gentle and thoughtful, peerless dentist! You always appreciated everything good and you noticed every little thing that was good. You taught me so much about speaking out and sharing the good things with others to help lift them up, too! Thank you for being you and thank God for blessing us to know you and for our time on this earth to be shared!
