Ian McDermott
Really can't imagine how different my life would have turned out if I never had Uncle John as an example of what an adult life could be. Like kids that grow up in families with wealth or celebrity, allowing them to think that those things are possible to achieve for themselves too - I got to see a life of principled and and practiced compassion. Anyone who got to witness John's life had their scope of human capacity expanded. The world is unquestionably worse without him now, but has benefitted so much because of the time we did have him. For a Skinny™️, quiet, modest man, Uncle John's life was huge. I will be forever grateful for him and for the family and friends who helped allow John to be himself, especially Cilla who no doubt made his life whole and brought him to share so much more of his personal life with us.
