When I was young John and his family took me in when I had no where else to go . Treated me like family and did more for me than I can explain. Taught me things and told me things that help me to this day. I'm deeply saddened by this news and want to give my condolences to his family. When I came to see him years after becoming an adult he gave me some advice and I still hold onto that . I wish we could have had more conversations like the last one we had . Rest easy Ibby.
