Kmart Bike

John will always be remembered to me as a kind man that loved to tease me with a joke.  I never minded because I knew that meant he liked me.  He loved to banter back and forth, as did I.

But, my all time favorite story is one I'll never forget. I bought a bicycle at Kmart and ask for the help of John and his truck to get it home. Of course he was happy to help. When we arrived at the store and he discovered the bike was already assembled, he said "oh this makes it easy".  He then hopped on the bike and proceeded to RIDE it through the store and across the parking lot to the truck. The image of that tall man, with his knees almost up to his throat weaving and bobbing around the numerous Kmart obstacles on my PINK bike is one I'll NEVER forget and will ALWAYS make me smile.

May he rest in peace with no more suffering.

Love to John and his entire family,

Jean ~
