Dear Family,
John loved you ALL so.  We would do lunch and I would hear stories regarding his children and wife, which were so cute and enduring.  Although he did not see many of his children that did not lessen his love, his caring  to his family.  He was a special man in his kind and generous ways.  His life was difficult towards the end, but his faith carried him on.  Keep good thougts of your Father for now he is seeing you all from above.
