We didn't have a chance to meet in person, but I feel as though I'd known you through knowing John. He's said we shared the same sense of humor! I wish we'd had the time to meet.
May you rest in peace until you reunite with your family...

I am so sorry to hear about John's passing. He was my first boss at Ace Hardware. I have quite a few fond memories of that real first job with John working along side all of us.
