Dear Fran,
Peggy and I were in Laurie's shoe store on Manchester today and met Warren Wimmer who told us of John's death. We were
shocked. I'm sorry we missed the notice and express our deepest sympathy. What a great guy! I'm glad we connected at our recent reunion. He and you are in our thoughts and prayers.
