John always seemed cool and collected; always on an even keel. Never a negative word of anyone did I hear him utter... nor gossip nor conjecture as so, so many do these days for "sport", entertainment.... raising their pride up with false-work. No false-work in John's world that I saw. He had a strong foundation; in his family. He knew what was important.
Like I heard of a current prominent figure that many took issue with. "He is a good man!" a defender said. "You CAN NOT FAKE FAMILY! and his is stellar in all ways; proof that he IS a good man."
But, with John, it is apparent that he and you are good people, parents.... good families and children just don't happen.
My fondest memory , was everyday he tried to make peoples lives better off. He succeeded in so many ways . I loved talking to Uncle John about his work , and his memories. I love you Uncle John !!!!!
