John Fawcett 10-21-61 to 5-27-08

 

Today, we lost someone special.  A man who, along with his wife, was a blessing to my wife.  Who helped her grow and find healing and confidence.  A man who blessed me every time he lead worship at our church in Chicago.  A friend whose mere presence in a Tolkien class i was co-leading forced me to think more deeply about a book i loved then i had previously thought possible or necessary.  A man who i respect more and more all the time as i reflect on his life.  I feel as if i should say more.  I cannot.  John Fawcett sailed past the Grey Havens today, he resides in that Golden Land where pain and death do not come.  Precious in the Eyes of the Lord is the Death of His Saints.
