Jan and Devon, I have just heard the news here in Manila, he was devoted to you and I know this is so painful...Kevin and Sean and Michael and all of John's friends have lost a brother in one sense or another. He was a true friend of almost 40 years and I shall miss him deeply. We will all meet again, I know this, and meantime, God bless us all. Words fail me...

One of my favorite movies was titled the persona you embodied, "The Quiet Man". You made a lifetime impression and friend. Thanks.
