    Remembering BIG JOHN

    This is not a "let's be sad" thread, it's a Let's be Glad We Knew John thread.

    Thanks Steve.

    I had no idea why I had the urge to click my V Dr bookmark tonight (first time in months). Now I know. I think someone else was guiding my hand.

    Big John was a true gentleman, and is sorely missed around these parts. R.I.P. big guy.
    The true test of character is not how much we
    know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do

    When I thought one year that I would have a TV dinner for thanksgiving, (since my family goes out of town) that’s when my phone rang and Big John invited me over for a great dinner. That was John, always thinking of others.

    I read your e-mail

    To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer.
