I spent time at the brunch talking to John. His son's family lived a few doors down from Suzie's. He talked about his grandkids. I was looking forward to seeing him at the next reunion. RIP John. You'll be missed.

I talked with John at the cocktail party. He had such a great sense of humor. So sad.
