  1. I know that Alexah meant to say that John was also a great grandfather. John loved country-western music, he collected miniature 18 wheeler trucks, he liked to sit with friends and family and talk until the sun comes up…as they say. He was generous and funny, and when he called to talk, you had to be ready for a two hour conversation … he was a great conversationist. John loved his little dog ‘ Junior ‘ and would talk about him, with great candor. John was one quarter Cherokee. I loved my brother, and even though my heart is filled with sorrow over our loss, I know he has joined the spirit of our ancestors . This is what I believe. 😔
