    John was an instrumental part of our summer school session several years ago. I had the opportunity to get to know John a little bit and found him to be a gentleman and a scholar. He will be missed Carolyn stankiewicz

    I have 48 years of stored memories of our lives together my love. Pictures of our wedding and becoming parents and every iota of a life lived as partners and babes in the woods at times. I loved you at first sight. I don’t know how to go on without your steady presence and support. I wish you a rest now among the kind angels where there isn’t pain. My heart will always be yours. Until we meet again my sweetheart. 🙏🏼♥️
