To John’s family…
I am saddened for you in your time of loss. I knew John as a daring man with a passion to fly his ultra lite plane. He was a good neighbor to an elderly friend, and a man with a bright and inquisitive mind. I well remember the great tragedy of hDavid’s untimely death and how he and Peg endured that pain. My sympathies to you and yours. May your father’s memory, his passions, and his goodness live on through you.
