Afterglow

I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an
afterglow of smiles when life is done.

I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
of happy times and laughing times and bright and
sunny days.

I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun, of happy
memories that I leave when life is done.

Johnny's Dojo in west Bridgewater is now a shrine to his legacy of love and friendship towards all who ever visited, shall visit and keep writing their names in the guest book John was so proud of.

You will remember that the name of the dojo is 'Shinkookai' [House of friendship] as named by Gordi Breyette sensei in a visit from Okinawa.

John was loved and respected by all who ever had the good luck to meet him.

Rest in peace my friend.
