John was a dear friend and mentor to my children and their friends at our home in Westtown. John was always available to give support and add a sense of humor. He was funny, wry, awake, and sensitive to the needs of others. I enjoyed his company every time we met. The last time I saw him was about 20 years ago in Vermont and we had a terrific time reminiscing then. I am certain John is in the Pure Land with a wide open interest in his next adventures in being a bodhisattva. Lovely human being. May he be happy, free from harm, with peace and ease in his transition. Love always.
