John was always smiling and cutting up. But I feel that he really did start enjoying life because he found Lisa. We are so glad that God sent you his way and let each of you find one another. We meet you up there one day John. Until then save us a seat.

I met John where I worked in Erlanger. He came in every day to pick up for R&L. It was always the good part of the day when he came in with his smile and cutting up with us. He took my daughters on their very first plane ride and we attended one of his Halloween parties where I met some of the family. Had great fun together. I am so very sorry. What a great loss. May God bless his family and friends. I may have some pictures you would like to see. My e-mail is jalozier@peoplepc.com
