Terribly, terribly sad, but what a life! He hit all the peaks and valleys. I'm sure the last half of his life was most rewarding.

He's been so weak for quite a while, and I'm sure June's loss gave him little else to live for.

But John, you did it all. You've made a place in our hearts and minds that can't be taken, and the Lord has a chair waiting for you.

The old will be young there forever,
Transformed in a moment of time;
Immortal we'll stand in His likeness,
The stars and the sun to outshine.
