John and I grew up together as friends on South Main Street in Laconia.
Remaining close through High School. Oh, the things we did together.....
Life takes us in so many directions, and we had only seen each other a couple of times since then but it was a joy for me to see him strong and happy. Let it be known that the memories of those years are still current in my mind. May he rest in peace through all of Eternity.
