For Love of John...

...yesterday afternoon, our brother John gently passed away, after thirty one years of battling Multiple Sclerosis. He dealt with pain daily, but never let it control his life. Many years ago John and a heroic group, in wheelchairs, chained themselves to the railing leading up the stairs to the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. They were the advocates for changing the availabilities, of those confined to wheelchairs, from entering public places. The Handicapped Act of 1984 was a direct result of these brave advocates. John was also active in Assisted Living, which allowed wheelchair bound individuals to live in their own homes or apartments and hire their own aides. For many years John was part of clinical trials, to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. As a Son, Brother, Father, Grandpa, Cousin, and Friend, he will be truly missed and remembered.
