This video is so funny to me. This was Halloween 2019, He was so determined to have the same witch he had had for a hundred years (the witch did not want to be a part of Halloween this year). ”Get in there Honey”.

John and I at Andre and Amanda's wedding

John had a remarkable way of making people feel at home. He was kind, warm, loving, and genuinely welcoming in a way that stays with you. I will always remember the lightness he brought into a room and the way he made everyone feel included and cared for.

Living with him, Kiran, and the kids, and spending holidays together, was incredibly special. Those moments showed me the depth of their bond and the love that filled their home. It was a privilege to be part of that.

He adored Nico and Shaila. You could see it in his smile, hear it in his laughter, and feel it in the pride he carried for them. His love for his children was deep and steady.

John also supported me in ways I will always remember. He offered guidance, career advice, encouragement, and always found a way to bring humor into any conversation. Having him at my wedding recently meant so much to me. I am grateful he was there to share that moment.

I am deeply thankful to have known him and to have been welcomed into this beautiful family. He made a lasting impact on my life, and I will carry his kindness, humor, and warmth with me always.

Sending all my love to the family.
