Lilia and Michelle, I am sorry to hear of John's passing and the sorrow you both must feel at the loss of a son and brother. I enjoyed working with John at Kipp and getting to know him. I enjoyed working with both of you as well. I know John had been sick for quite a while, so am glad he doesn't have to suffer the pain any more. I am sure you both did your very best to help him and love him.Our paths don't cross much any more, but I have a big hug for you both when we do. Roger Slack

John was always there for us, for all the major events in our lives. He was our friend, our brother, an Uncle to our children, and always there when we needed him. When it was time for me to say my wedding vows, John made silly faces at me so that I wouldn't cry. I will miss his funny stories, and I will miss coloring with him and comparing our pictures. Sending you guys so much love, we are here for you always, The Seaton family.
