It took him to a wonderful place where he will be socializing, telling some of his great stories and relaxing to his heart's content. In this place, laughter and love are guaranteed, the food is great, the lake at the cabin is always calm, and you always get Jameson Irish whiskey in your Manhattan. He left instructions for his son and grandchildren to be sure that everyone celebrate his mission here, which is now complete. As he faced his final days, with his body simply wearing out, he occasionally misplaced a bit of the good humor he was known for. But he never had self-pity. In the days before he passed when his family and caretakers would ask him how he was doing, he always gave the same answer. I'm fine. Farewell John, rest in peace. You did good. You did real good.
