Uncle John was an inspiration to us all. What an exixiting experience to be part of the celebration of his 100th birthday party. Glad I made the trip down to florida to share with him and the family. Rest in peace Uncle John, you will be missed and I will remember you forever.
What a Blessing to have enjoyed life to the beautiful age of 100 yrs.

I shall never forget the time when we were there a few years ago and you insisted that we try your brand new scooter. You were so proud of it's large size . What fun Ken, Roger and I had driving it up and down your street. when we went to say our goodby you gave me a
