John Burroughs

John was a dear family friend of Lesley and Don Tinker. John and Don and I kind of inherited each other as friends after my father passed away 5-1/2 years ago -- John and my father were very close friends!

We remember John for his constant giving to others--especially of time and friendship, his laughter and humor, common sense approach to life, his love of his wife and family, and love of all nature.

John was very inspiring during the last 1-1/2 years of his life, since being diagnosed with cancer. During it all, he never missed an opportunity to be up-beat, connecting from his heart with folks. Always with a twinkle in his eyes.

Don and I will miss him greatly. We wish him well and send smiles and a twinkle in the eye to him from our hearts.
