Mavis and girls, I was shocked to hear that John is gone. He was a special person who could get anyone to smile. I often think back fondly of all the things he and Larry would get into, but always in a good way. There are many memories like the house he built, water piped to the pigs, exploding burning trash in a barrel, and on and on. May these memories bring smiles through the tears. He was a dear friend.
