John & Judy were the BEST neighbors we could have ever asked for. John will remain in my heart forever. The Joker Pokers will not be the same without him as our mayor of Gateway addition. What brings a smile to me is the thought he is with my other buddy, Jake taking a ride on those streets of gold. Judy, sending you hugs and prayers for you and the family. I love you.
