What shocking news we just heard. I am so sorry. John was a wonderful man. We have truly missed our neighbors (our second "mom and dad") for the past two years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Louise and Shannon and all four grandkids. John touched our lives and he taught us many life lessons we will never forget.
