I did not know John but all my friends including those that I grew up with in Dar and who over the years have migrated elsewhere speak highly of this wonderful person. John is dead a gone. He is now everlasting. There is something sickening envy that out of the blues we are judgmentally being told told that John had flaws ...please ....even Saints had flaws...... Marvyn, you described a certain individuals response as being "RATHER UNSAVORY" perhaps a better word is UNCOUTH. Let us not judge the dead.....we might be exposing yourself !!!
