John Williams

It's late Sunday afternoon and we are here John as you were taking your last few breaths you were still playing jokes on Wanda, like you were saying I got you. Then around 5:00 or so God came down and took you from us. When you left you had one eye open and a smile on your face like you were saying, "man I'm finally gone and don't have to watch those losing Cubs...and now I can get some rest that I need and don't have to worry anymore. But what I will miss the most is on Sundays watching my Bears down at Sarges and drinking a couple of cold ones too! Then here comes Bryan dressed up with his Colts shirt on and hat. I thought he was just doing that to get a fight going, but that's Bryan. I really think he was trying to get me to root for the Colts. Then there is hockey season - my Chicago Blackhawks, who did win the cup last season for the first time in over, hum, let's see, 40 some years. Oh well, hey I just thought of something. I can tell you who is going to win the World Series next year. The Cubs - not - got you...Well, let's see. I went into the Navy in 86 and did my training at Greatlakes. Then I served on the USS Dewey and went to a lot of places. Well, I'm kind of tired and saw my mom today. She said hi to you Wanda and thanks for taking care of me. Your friend, U.S.S. John M. Williams

Bryan this is so good. I'm sharing it on my wall as well.
