Saddened to hear of John's passing. I had the great pleasure to visit John a few times a week during employment at Garden Place Healthcare. His love of books, telling stories of years gone by and asking questions made our visits memorable.
His smile and kind words will remain in my heart.
Extending sympathy to his family.
