I will always remember our conversations about seafood and our love of it.It was a pleasure to bake you a Mincemeat pie at Christmas time.You were the only one in my life that ever liked it beside my dad when he was with us. You were a special person in my nursing life and you made my long night shift work a lot shorter with your sense of humor. You never complained. Rest well John and it was a pleasure to know you. My sincere sympathies to your loving family!
