What a beautiful life he had and I loved reading the story about John's life.
Not long ago I stopped to visit John on my way to Windsor. We had lunch, visited Anne, toured a few of John's favourite country roads, including a stop for coffee at one of his favourite spots in Mt Brydges. John knew everyone there and they knew him. As a friend of Sue, John had a way of making me feel at ease right away, because a friend of Sue's was also a friend of John's.
I feel honoured that I had the chance to see that sparkle in his eye when he was joking around. I remember the goats in the old barn, that seemed more like pets and Bear the dog, who was twice my size, but just as gentle as John.
My sympathies to Anne, Sue, John and the whole family at the loss of such a fine man.
Love Lou
