Praise God. He has removed another flower from his bouquet, of the Ardmore community. Along with all of John's family, he is beloved, a centerpiece and protector of his siblings. He will be easily missed. Prayers to his family. God Speed, while we all try to fill a huge void. Rest in peace. Well done, John. Well done ., M. Dixon
