Although we may no longer see John physically, we believed he has left an indelible mark on all of us lucky enough to have known him. John would want us to find comfort in knowing he is free from pain and home with his Heavenly Father. John was an extraordinary man; he was full of life, love and compassion. He was such a beautiful soul and his love had no bounds.
