I only spoke to John a few days ago and he said he was in hospital at the time.
I told him I´d pop up to say Hi .. he seemed pleased at that .
Not knowing he had Pasadena I text him last night to see what books I could bring up or out to him to read .
I was so saddened by a text from Carol informing me John had passed .
Our memories of John will be forever.. a kind and helpful man.
