What a treasure. We first met John at Mike's & Britt's rehearsal dinner. He shared delightful memories of his wife and daughters, the Netherlands, coming to America and the struggles of starting anew. Think I may have embarrassed him (but in a good way) at Mike's & Britt's wedding by asking him to join the others in standing and being recognized for their service as Marines and Sailors. Secretly, I think he was pleased by the well deserved recognition. Only got to see him a few times after the wedding, but each time was memorable. He was friendly, inviting and had a terrific sense of humor. He will be missed by all, but most by his wife and immediate family. Our condolences.
