When I think of my brother, one thought keeps coming back: That was a life worth living; he did it his way!
One of my early recollections was John going out Friday nights into the Everglades to drag race his car against others. I can say more but that’s just one example of what most of us don’t/can’t do.
John, it’s never perfect but you did good and you did it!
