My deepest and most sincere sympathies go out to the Myers family. It was only 6 weeks or so ago that Johnny stopped by to visit and pick up some venison jerky and honey from me. He invited me to go to a Reds game with him this spring, I sadly regret that we won't be in the stands together, I was really looking forward to it.........

Dear Carolyn,
I remember John with great fondness from trips to Ontario and visits at your kitchen table. Though its been many years since we last saw each other John always made a point to text or call whenever the Hoosiers would be playing against the Badgers. I'll miss those conversations.
You have my deepest sympathies Aunt Carolyn,
