Photos of John

In trying to come to grips with the loss of John I've been going through old photos. They remind me of some of the many reasons that I liked and admired him so much. He had a warmth and openness toward others, always including them in his enjoyment of life. This is at his 60th birthday celebration in the barn in Boulder.







Food was always good and plentiful. Here are Ed and John slicing pork or goat, I can't remember for sure.




He and Jacqui were very generous in inviting others to share vacations with them. This photo is at Villa Los Frailes in Baha in 2003 sharing wine and stories with Ed, Belle, Jacqui, Cheryl, Kirsten and me.

Jacqui and John are decked out to go for drinks at the Hotel Bahia Los Frailes (2005).

John was a hands-on guy. It seems like he could do anything. Here he is working on the irrigation in their alfalfa field (Boulder, 2005).

He really enjoyed the outboard motor boat in Baja as well as the ATV to tow it around. He loved to fish and to take others fishing with him. This photo is from Feb 2003. John has just navigated through the rocks by an excellent snorkeling beach.

The next two photos are in 2006.
John is pulling with the ATV while Mike and I push. John had a way with equipment and an enjoyment of it.












Cheryl and John are headed out for early morning fishing.

Here are some shots that show John at play.

Naomi and David are enjoying the sunrise while John appears to be trying to get Cochamo interested in the stick while Mouffetard looks on expectantly (Baja 2005).

John tries windsurfing and does remarkably well at it (Baja 2006).








John boogie-boarding: he always caught the biggest waves (Baja 2005).









Here's one of John studying "Baja Catch" with Mouffetard sitting by (Baja 2006).

Here is a photo of John walking down the beach at sunrise (Baja, 2005).

I still can't believe that John is not coming back. He has touched so many of us with his warmth and kindness. We each keep a piece of him in our hearts.
