I, too, will miss John and his kind way. I had so hoped that one day he might come back down South for a visit to South Carolina and join me on a dove field. He once told me, in a saddened tone, that "a Southern man shouldn't have to die in such a cold, lonely place" as where he then lived. It saddens me to remember that. I'm glad his departure was in warm weather.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
