John was my friends father. He, without hesitation, would take us to “not so silent night” and stay until we were done ( falling asleep in the seats!!). He took us to PA to see his hometown and to many, many all day mall experiences. He was a great man to his daughter and I am sure that she has held those same values with her little guy 🙂 I am sorry I couldn't be there to celebrate John but I want Rachel and Judy to know that I am thankful I could say 'thanks and rest easy to John'. xo Jackie
