He Who Must Not Be Named
I learned so many things from John in our brief time. He was hardworking and honest, caring and kind, patient and loving. I only regret that we did not share more of that time together. Throughout my life, I have never heard anyone speak ill of him, nor he of anyone. His quiet, stoic, solemn presence belied the disarmingly affable nature of this gentle giant of a man. As I am sure that all who have known him can attest, our world was a little better, just for having him in it. In the hearts of his family and friends he will remain forever loved and deeply missed.
