Dearest Addie, David & Stuart, I feel so blessed to have had the chance to get to know John ever since I had the luck to work for his beloved Addie in the Alumni Office. Over the years, like many, I enjoyed the wonderful Christmas cards recounting their joys of each year. I'll always remember John punting us down the river Cam during our alumni trip with Bob & Elaine Ryf. And, you both keeping me company, and sane, as we waited for Marilyn at the train station in Sligo, Ireland after she missed her plane connection from NYC. I visited you in Washington and heard John's tales of his favorite childhood memories. Steve and I had the pleasure of having you visit us when we lived in Santa Barbara, Addie's hometown. And, we saw you in Oceanside re-planted so a sort enjoy being close to the growing family they adored. As I had told John & Addie many times, you both were my heroes- loving, compassionate, smart, devoted and fun! Your message of looking for "the magic moment" in every day has resonated with me since I first heard it in 1979.I will always remember John's enthusiasm, smile and love for Addie and his family. John's love of life was contagious. And, Addie, you and he made a remarkable couple. Much love, Jean Keefe Parry
