John had a wonderful infectious belly laugh when something struck him as funny. It makes me smile just to think about him, head thrown back in a huge laugh that could last forever... tickled beyond belief. His sister Carolyn misses him deeply. May you find peace in the quiet and joy in knowing that God's grace holds John. You will see him again. Love you, Nooche!
