I'm sorry I missed you before you passed, life had got so busy before I went away and winter meant less time outside where we would hang over the fence nattering. You were a quiet man who liked to keep to himself but we had some great chats, in between sharing stories of people we knew and days gone by, happenings on the street and attacking our trees with the 'mini chainsaw that could'. I hope you are reunited with your wife and fixing your bobcat like you were sure you one day would. Rest easy John.
