From all of us at Avalon Memory care, it was such an honor to be a part of Johns` final year. He was such a tender and gentle soul with so much love in his eyes. He never spoke much but when he did it was it was filled with joy. We will forever miss him but we are happy hes in a better place.

So sorry to learn of John's passing. I worked with John at EDS, Corporate Software, for several years. John was always passionate about his work, quick to laugh and encourage those around him.
