Dear John,
you have been in my thoughts many times this year. I didn't know until this evening that you had died earlier this year.
You were an amazing compassionate & caring man. I enjoyed our many conversations and discussions about so many topics. I feel privileged to have known you & cherish the wisdom you shared and friendship.
Love to your family
