God Bless Him for not only serving his country but for his continued vigilance as a member of Free Republic.
May the arms of Our Lord, encircle you always with hope, peace and comfort especially during this time of loss.
Thank you so much for letting us know you're okay. This is very hard for me....... I can't even imagine how it must be for you. John was such an integral part of the Freepathons, he loved FR so much and worked so hard for FR.
Prayers are continuing.
