If I could say anything about my Uncle John it would be this ... He was an inspired thoughtful man who always always made you feel that what you had to say , were doing at the time was the most important thing in the world. He was a kind gentle man who will be oh so missed. Love you

Once in a while a person comes along who makes you think about what is truly important, what it means to embrace life and rise above pain , what it means to truly care about others and help them grow,and also to appreciate the beauty of nature. John was that special person.The moments in time I had to spend with Dave's Dad John, I always wished we lived closer so that we could see more of John and Julie. I will miss John's thoughtful commentary, quick wit, unique laugh and sincere smile.
