Dear Peter and family,
I have learned with regret of John’s passing. I have many fond memories of John as a fine colleague and a pleasant educator to work with. The last time I saw him was the day Bill died. He sat in the sunshine at the entry of the hospital; that’s how I will remember him.
My condolences and warmest regards,
Pauline Feniak
