Greetings

This blog is dedicated to our son, John William. We only learned that he had always wanted to be called "Johnny" after his death, which occurred much, much too soon, on April 7, 2007.

John was thirty years old, our eldest; born on Father’s Day in 1976 (he was our “bicentennial baby”). Michael and Jessica are his brother and sister. John was single but we take great solace in knowing that for the last year of his life he experienced the same depth of love that we have experienced for over 35 years. John’s fiancée is Alexandra (or Alex as she prefers). Alex was the love of John’s life – his soul mate, and we are joyful Alex has become a member of the family.

John lived life to the fullest – he genuinely enjoyed life. And as his brother observed, the last year of John’s life was his best – he had hit his stride. He loved his job, which often took him all over the world. He bought his first home. He, of course, met Alex and fell in love. And he continued to be an extraordinary son and thoughtful grandson to his Papa (his father’s father) as well as his Grandma (his mother’s mother).

This blog is dedicated to John's memory. This site is intended to allow John's family and friends to post whatever they would like to his memory. We will also use it to keep everyone informed as to the status of John's memorial scholarship fund. John loved information technology – it was his passion. With the fund, we hope to, as his brother says, help the big geek foster a lot of little geeks – young people like John who share his love for technology.
