My thoughts and prayers are with John's family as you go through this time of loss. I met
John while he was roommates with my dad at Sarah A. Todd Home last February-March 2011. He was such a cheerful and sweet man.
I spent every afternoon and evenings visiting with him while I was visiting my father. He always welcomed me and was willing
to give me a hug when I left. I thought of him often over the last year. Now he and my dad can reunite again in heaven! God
Bless!
Mary Eutzy (daughter of James Kuhns)
