On Behalf of the Renata and Heads family, we send our condolences. Our thoughts are with the family and friends at this time.
John was a great guy, with a great spirit.
We recently connected again after 25years! John lost his Dog, and was now shy from the odd face book posts! I could see how connected he was to his dog, and thought he might want to talk about the loss. It Was awesome to connect and just bounce that pain off each other. Grief is dark at times, and wanted to send him some light. He was definitely on the right path from what I could see. He was really passionate about his food/health/faith- that made me smile seeing his post.
May you rest in peace brother. Till we meet again.

Renata.
