It was a great joy having met John for the first time when he visited Cali many years ago.
He fully integrated to the group of Colombian friends who had been summoned to met our friend Alba Lucia's new husband she so very much and happily talked about.
He was so patient listening to everybody speaking on top of each other, and I then supposed he was getting an eye-opener as to what he had gotten into when marrying into this vivacious and extroverted Latin culture.
We got to meet a few more times and I have the best memories of him being always a gentleman, always a respectful listener, but mostly, as being the cause of our friend Alba Lucia's glowing smile and spirit.
Always in our memories, may you rest in peace
