My dear Joy . . I cannot believe that John is gone. He always had that wonderful dry sense of humor. One of the funniest things I remember him doing is putting his finger on the top of his head and mimicking curling hair around it and then putting a real hairclip on it and of course it fell. I have such wonderful memories of spending evenings as our three couples at either one's house . . . You and John, Diane and Tim and me and Jimmy. I cherish those times together. My prayers are with you and your family and John's family as well. Much love, Judi

Joy and families who I’ve known and loved for decades. I am so sorry I couldn’t be there. You all know how much Tim and I loved John. John had a way about him that he could always make you laugh and smile whenever we got together and he always made you feel special. I will cherish so many wonderful memories we shared together. My entire family is deeply saddened to hear about his passing. They will also have memories to treasure. I know no words can comfort you and the family during this difficult time, but I know Tim is in heaven welcoming John home. I know that puts a smile on my face. Love you dear friend.
