We all were kids on DuncannonJimmy & Johnny were my brother's and my closest pals. Their dad taught us model building and scale railroading with the kindest touch I loved the hours at the Motley houseI so hear the phone ring when it was announced that school had closed due to snow; In minutes we'd all be dragging our sleds to the "Hill". I remember rushing over to meet Chrissy the new born. I could go on and on but it hurts to linger just now because i just left John's farewell. No one quite prepares you for this time of life !! My/Our love to all the Motleys ..John and the entire McGowan family

I'm so sorry to hear of John's passing. I worked for John for many years. He was the most dedicated physician I've ever known. So kind, honest and understanding to patients and co-workers. My prayers go out to Kate and his entire family.
