    Yes, just found out. I considered John a true friend. He will be missed greatly. Next ice cream cone eaten, will be in his honor. Cant imagine what he and Guido Hibdon are laughing about now. Two great ones gone. You will be missed my friend.

    I think his name is Jeremy. I can't say I know him very well but Joyce said John thought highly of him. Joyce said he was very clear that his wish was to keep his "ministry" going.
