     I need to share that Saturday (at the Kindred Hospital) was a great day for John as many of his friends came by to visit and cheer him on.  John loved every minute of the time spent with friends....even managing a few laughs, jokes, talk about the El Caro Men's Golf Club, and all while enjoying some Blue Bell vanilla ice cream and a diet coke.  He ended the day stating that life had been good to him, that he was blessed with so many friends, and that he thought of Phoenix as if he were "living in Paradise".  Today....John is in the "real Heavenly paradise" and we know that he is finally pain free.  John Earl passed away this morning at 6:45 a.m. (Phoenix time) with myself and a dear friend at his bedside.
