Joyce, Bill and Tom-
Natalie called me to tell me know that John died on Dec. 22. I will attend his funeral online. I will be there for you even if I can't attend in person.
I have great memories of sharing time together with you and John in Naples. My parents thought the world of both of you.
John was a wonderful person- as you all know. He was truly an officer and a gentleman. I am so glad that I knew him. He will be missed. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Fondly, Sandy
