Jean, I am so sorry for your loss. I did not have the privilege of knowing you folks for a long time since we did not meet until you moved to Florida. But John quickly became a great friend. I enjoyed taking walks around the community with him and discussing all kinds of things. I will miss him greatly and remember him always. My deepest condolences to you have the family.
