I am so grateful to have had the chance to know Uncle John and to be part of this wonderful family. It's hard to imagine a more fitting day for someone who loved America and the Fourth of July than to be remembered on our nation's 250th birthday. May we all carry his memory with us and find comfort in the many stories and moments we shared. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. ❤️ - Jessica, Hunter, Ryder, & Shyla
