And I have sad news for all of you who kept John in your prayers. John was a kind and gentle man and a brave one. He was known as Virtual Geezer on this site and his dream was to buy a home here in The Villages and to live out his days. That didn't happen. He has left this earthly home.
Here is the obituary.
