Old man John was my mentor since 2016. I had a dream with him last night. He is dancing & cooking. I knew something was wrong when he didn´t reach out for the holidays. I´m happy he was with Gus when he passed. He loved that dog! My condolences to his son & family he was so proud of the man you are. He talk about Jackson all the time and Lilly. I remember when he would tell what a big boy Jackson was when he would go fishing with him and his son.I remember when I went vegan he was like " omg what are you going to eat eat Grass !, I should take you to my sons farm line you at the gate so you eat "
He will be missed, he taught me a lot!

I am thankful to have been able to know John. He quickly became a good friend and I cherished our visits. He definitely was a person who made your life better by being part of it. It makes me happy to look at Gus every day and think of John. My deepest condolences to John, Audrey, Lily and Jackson.
