Dear Brenda and Cindy,

Thank you for you mail and letting us all know. I realize it is a sad time for 
you and the rest of 
the family but rest assured that the feelings and sympathy of the list are with 
you all. 
Maybe not as much as you but we will all miss John. Geographically he may have 
been a long 
way from Leeds but the list brings us all together and he was part of it and 
contributed to it.
His love and passion for Leeds was self-evident, as well as many other sports 
which clearly 
included ice hockey.
I'm glad to hear the interest in "soccer"[sic} is being carried on in the rest 
of the family. As you 
say his legacy lives on.
Though it is sad he is no longer here at least it sounds like his passing was 
quick and. 
hopefully, without to much pain. Our commiserations are with you all.
And wherever he is now I'm sure he will be happy Leeds won tonight!

Deepest feelings and regards,
Guy
