John and his son, Bradley
|
| ALWAYS, S0N |
John was so proud of Bradley. He loved him so much. John and Bradley had a thing they always did that I will never forget.
Bradley would look at his dad and ask, "Da, are you my buddy?" . John would answer, "Always, son, always". Brad would repeat,
"Always, Da?". John would say, "Always", then Bradley would give him a hug.

will always make sure Bradley will be aware of . I will always keep his dad's memory alive for him.

Although John and Jill never married, I will always consider Jill to be his wife and my daughter-in-law. She gave him unconditional
love, and he went to his grave knowing that. Thank you, Jill, you will always have a special place in my heart.
