Condolences to the tidball family. I bought one of John's paintings of him which I love .Also we did rest homes services in the resthome John lived. He would often play amazing grace on his recorder and read a passage from revelation 22 lm sure he will be missed by many
I remember John as the most kind gentleman. He always had a nice word to share that perfectly fit the moment. He was giving and shared his wisdom and his love for God and all things heavenly especially his beloved Barbara, of whom he spoke of so often. His grit and spirit was very admiral. I will never forget him. Condolences to Joanne, family, friends and fellow workers at Brightwater.
So sorry for your loss. A great man at peace united with his loved wife
