    I am so sorry, Leta and family, that John has passed away. He was one of the kindest, friendliest, most conscientious persons with whom I ever worked. I always enjoyed his smile and his calm demeanor. He was truly a good and honest person. May he rest in peace and may you find peace in the fact that you enjoyed him as a spouse, a father, and a grandfather.
    I am going to make a donation to Heart and Stoke in his memory.
