John has been our friend and neighbor for 14 years. He was always available to lend a helping hand. We first met John the day after Hurricane Charley when we arrived in Punta Gorda to check on how our new home had survived the storm. John and Cindy were already out in the street picking up debris. There were only 2 full time residents at that time and we always referred to John as the mayor of Napoli Lane. We have many fond memories of boating and visiting together. I will miss our chats in the backyard when both of our dogs were out and about. Our memories of John’s laugh when our dog, Emmi, thought she was spying on him over the fence, from a patio chair, will always make me smile. He played along with her antics and made her so happy. John will be greatly missed by us and our condolences go out to Cindy and the family. John, Lance, Beau and Tinker are all together now and will watch over the neighborhood.
