When I think of my Uncle John there is always a smile on his face, golf clubs near by, and a Polo T-shirt being worn. My favorite story is one my cousin Stephanie told me many years ago. John was driving the convertible (top down) with Stephanie in the car. She was getting cold and John asked, "Do you want me to put the windows up?". I can only imagine the look Steph gave him. Sweet Goofball!
