In tribute to John

Tribute

It's funny how we can meet someone for the first time and feel like we already know them, somehow. Maybe it's just because of contagious smiles and laughter. Perhaps it's a subtle peculiarity that makes us familiar or inviting. I recently had the pleasure of this occurrence with Mr. John Malinowski. He seemed very warm and open, telling us of his wife's illness and showing unashamed concern for her. He was on his way to visit her in the hospital.

Imagine my dismay to hear that John passed away suddenly last Saturday. Below is a copy of the obituary posted this week in the Pensacola News Journal.
