John and I became good friends and that friendship lasted well into our retirement. After the derecho hit, John called to see if I needed any help. He was always willing to lend a hand. We would meet for breakfast and sit there for three hours, drink coffee, talk up a storm and solve most of the world's problems! Once, I went to the airport to pick up a part and there was John, sitting outside, wearing a 'Virginia is for Lovers' t-shirt. Wendy, I know he had big plans for that day! I always enjoyed his company and his friendship. I will miss him too.
