We have not seen our dear friend John in over 25 years. John was the best man in our wedding back in 1980. We had a lot of fun times with him and Rick in those days. He always knew how to pull a prank that kept everyone in stitches. You had a great man to love and treasure. Our sympathy to the family during this time of loss.
