My Uncle John was a loving and wonderful uncle. We had a lot of happy memories that I cherish. He was so funny too, he made me laugh so much! Growing up, I was always impressed by his drumming skills. He always also somehow had stray cats over the years that would find there way to his home and become his pet. I always loved that. He would grill for me outside and we would go swimming and enjoy nature and talk about our ufo theories and outerspace. He always had an awesome fish tank with cool fish he would care for and I loved it. As a teenager he could do these crazy magic tricks and I would always beg for him to tell me how he did it. But as everyone knows, a good magician doesn't share his secrets! He was so fun like that. I was very lucky he was my uncle and he is dearly missed and loved by me.
I always enjoyed seeing John at the Foxcroft gate! He was always cheerful in welcoming me back to campus and wished us a safe journey whenever we left campus. Those interactions always brightened my day.
