I was truly blessed to have John as my dad. A great father and an absolute gentleman whose gentle nature, quiet wisdom, and kind heart shaped my life in so many ways. He always had a smile, making people feel at ease and valued just by being around him. His knowledge seemed endless, but it was the way he shared it with patience and care that made it so special. Above all, he was incredibly supportive, always believing in me and encouraging me to be my best. I was so lucky to have him, and his love, strength, and example will stay with me forever.
