I have a lot of wonderful memories of my Cousin, but the one I share with a lot of people is the story he told me about where his kids would go to college. Many of my friends were saddened when their children would go to schools to other states and then stayed in that state and started their lives in that state. John told me that he took out a map and drew a circle and said that his kids could go to any school within that circle. He knew if his kids went to school out of this area, they would probably move there. He loved his children so much, that he wanted them close and wanted to be there for them. And he was the most devoted father and grandfather that I have ever known. I am blessed that he came back into my life. Love you Cousin John. Cousin Jacquie Kupper
