John and I have been
friends forever--worked at the Elks together, had many a good times together, traveled to places together, and had many experiences
together. Rest assured that he will be missed and loved forever. I am in New Jersey until the middle of next week-which
prevents us from attending the service--but, rest assured that he will be in our thoughts and prayers.
