Aunt Diane, Cory, Chris, Craig and family, I was able to see Uncle John two weeks ago and am happy that I will be able to remember him as he was that day. Hed just come from working and walked into Grandmas house all smiles. He shook my hand, played with Happy and fed him some treats, and complained about getting old. I dont think he stopped smiling the whole time. When Alishia and I asked him to be our Master of Ceremonies, it was a very easy decision and we were honored to have him involved. The worst part was when he started crying after I asked him! But thats who he was, a positive and caring husband and father who loved God and his family. We will miss him. May God bless and comfort during this time. We look forward to seeing you this summer. Eric, Alishia, Lauren, and Nick
