Kerry, very sorry to hear about John's passing. We were lucky to have John and Patti as neighbors for the short time we did. John's had such a positive resilient spirit and took such good care of Patti. We will miss him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

He was a man of character who did everything that was asked of him in life. He and Patti were blessed in each other and a shining example of marital fidelity on their journey to God. Rest in Peace my friend.
