Cape Girardeau, MO Thursday, June 7, 2012 Scott, Susan and Maryann,It was not so unexpected that Uncle John is gone from this earth. He was blessed to have lived a very long life and to share his life with a great family. I always admired Uncle John for his character. He was always smiling and good natured. I know all of you will miss having him in your lives. My sympathies are with you for your loss. Wish I could be there. Life is so hectic as I discussed with Maryann. All my love to you as always, Alan
