On a Friday in May 1991 John drove up to Sharon, Vermont with Bradford to join in a Fathers and Sons outing. John Didn't sleep very well that night and had been pushing it too much during the week, short nights. The car got warm on the drive home and even though he had pulled over and taken a nap, he fell asleep traveling down I89. God decided to spare his life that day and help him drive off the road at 75 mph into a muddy place that slowed the car down.
