About Brother John
I’m a 6′4″ 300 pound 52 year old married man and miraculous survivor of a hematological (blood based) cancer. The cancer pretty much destroyed my left hip and upper left femur. As a result, I needed three major operations that eventually led to a total hip replacement. I’ve been married to a severely disabled (muscular dystrophy) woman for 32 years. I am Senior Software Developer (medical systems) for Gift of Life Donor Program (GLDP). My hobbies include music, art, origami, digital graphics and animation, reading, and cats. I have two cats at the moment, Sarah Jane, and Scamp. Sarah is a Korat kitty and Scamp was born with only three legs. more…
