When I think of my Uncle (and Godfather) John, I am reminded of his jovial laugh, his keen intellect, and his caring heart. I cherish the memories of our wonderful conversations on his visits back to Saint John, and the randomness of the transportation methods he chose to employ in getting here. To Aunt Margie, and to Kelly, Julie, SueEllen and James, please know you have my deepest condolences and love. ~ Cliff Godsoe
