JOHN WAS A VERY SPECIAL MAN. I PRAY FOR ALL OF HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. HE WAS LOVED BEYOND MEASURE AND A CHERISHED BLESSING TO ALL WHO NEW HIM. I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE TIMES WE SHARED WHEN HE WAS MY ACCOUNTANT. ( A QUOTE TO DISCRIBE JOHN )” Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind” WHAT AN AWESOME MAN. HE WILL FOREVER LIVE IN OUR HEARTS.
