    Our condolences to Cindy and family.
    John will be missed. Our lives crossed many years ago and to me he will always be “Sliver”. Always a happy guy when ever we met. Only guy I know that washed his pick up truck with a hand-held car wash โ€ฆ On the INSIDE !!!!
    Life is not about the end goal… It is about whether you enjoyed the trip. I think John would agree.
