“Sorry you had to go, John. I will always remember you as a very independent guy. You lived the.life of your choice, from your balloon business, to your taxidermy, your many other hobbies that you enjoyed and loved along with every dog you ever owned. I enjoyed all your home made gifts, as well as the heartfelt stories of your childhood then as you grew to be the determined guy who lived his life his way. Love, Carolyn”
