John was born in 1949 & passed in 2009. He and his lovely wife, Patricia, have four sons, born in the '70's. Highlighting a time when parents enjoyed sharing the magical nostalgic innocence of believing in the Tooth Fairy, motivated him to write this book. He wanted it to become his "legacy" of the closeness and fun times, he shared with his boys. He finished it and had it copyrighted it in 1992. This beautiful little story, sat unpublished, for years... until finally getting it illustrated. His caring wife and wonderful sons can be proud that their father's legacy to them is now a reality. God rest his soul.
