John loved to make people laugh, we had so many great memories together over the years. He always took the time to come visit us, our time together will always stay in my heart forever. We became a blended family by marriage, but we never looked at each other as step siblings, he is my little brother forever. One of his favorite sayings was suck it up buttercup, he would use that phrase anytime we spoke about life. John will be dearly missed by family and many good friends.
Love you always,
Your Big Sis, Donna
