John Guinan 1952-2008
reprinted from http://littlechapelontheriver.blogspot.com/2008/06/john-guinan-1952-to-2008_04.html
John Guinan died last night after a long, and extraordinarily brave fight with brain cancer. He is survived by his wife Mary Jane, children Sean, Kelly and Casey, granddaughter Zoe, his siblings Margaret, Christine and Jimmy and his father Jim.
Your notes and calls to John over the past 18 months have meant more than you'll ever know. Rarely does someone hear such widespread affection from so many corners of the world. He deserved all of the love but took none of it for granted. And he changed many lives, my own included, in big and small ways.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to Braking the Cycle and Team Guinan. This link will take you directly to Team Guinan's donation page, or type in:
www.gaycenter.kintera.org/btc/teamguinan08
(You can read more about Team Guinan in these posts)
If you have messages and memories for everyone who loved John, you can leave them as a comment at the end of this blog post.
Cards and notes for the family may be mailed to:

Spring is Finally Here
There is a family of beavers at Foundry Cove. Have not seen any evidence of a dam being built, but they have taken down several medium- sized trees and a host of saplings. There is also a Fisher (an animal of the cat family, like a possum on steriods) lurking about. So far we have only seen the foot prints.
The vultures and blue herons are back, as are the red-winged blackbirds, kingfishers and ducks.
Spring is finally here.
