Oh John, I just saw this and am so sorry that you and your family must go through this.
Please accept our condolences.
As a father with two grown sons, one facing cancer treatment, my heart is with you.
Prayers for endurance and peace for you and your family.

My son John was a good boy and a great man,anyone that knew him loved him....this Feb. 13th he would have been 47 years old.
We drove 2 hours into the city and sat with him on the couch for hours crying and talking to him....and because we are bringing his body home to NJ the laws were such that the coroner had to bring him to the morgue and maybe tomorrow the funeral home here will be able to bring our son home.
I am crying as I write this and angry at him for not trying to help himself. I feel most people here are good people and I consider most friends this is why I am writing this.....sorry for the long rant,I just hope my wife and I can get through this......hug your kids please.....even kids with no demons has a date.
My son is on the left...
You will get through this. You must get through this. Blaze is counting on you.

Just terrible. This is the second such situation I've heard about in the past two months. I can't even fathom it.

I'm very sorry.

Bad day yesterday and last night I looked out over the ocean and saw this.....I hope it was a sign he is at peace
I went into the attic and saw that I had my grandfathers deep sea fishing pole and reel restored to give him.....he never saw it.
