    John Richard Cogdell, or “Papa John” as he was known in his later years, died on December 10, 2024…Papa John did a wonderful job preparing for his death. In 2011, he wrote down his wishes regarding his burial and memorial. So please join us Saturday, March 1st at 10:00 A.M. (please arrive by 9:45) – no RSVP required. Dress is casual (wear a pocket protector in his honor, if you have one!). Hope is providing a livestream for those who cannot attend.

    Potluck to Follow
    We’ll have a Potluck lunch afterwards in the Family Room. Please bring: a side, salad, dessert, or drink to share. Also, if you possess a wooden pen that Papa John made – he gave these to many – bring it and use it to sign the guest book.
