  A Different Picture


​John D. Pentecost
1927  -  2020
Photos from January 14, 2020
Picture
John was my uncle; the youngest brother of my father, and one of my main role models in life. Without John's and Barbara's warmth and acceptance of me I would not have had a connection to the Pentecost family. Wherever I was in the world, I was a part of the family because John was there. He provided the example of a rational, reasonable  [mostly] adult, and  good person in my early teens that I needed and  could aspire to. He was a very special person to all who knew him and I am so fortunate that he touched my life as deeply as he did.

​Ordinarily I would take several hundred photos to document an event.  This was too personal and emotional for me to do that.  As a professional, I can be very unobtrusive when documenting  a sensitive situation, but I have no experience photographing a persons passing. especially one so close to me. There were more than a hundred people at the visitation and at the church service and I couldn't  feel comfortable taking pictures.  At the funeral I ignored my reluctance and took several shots because I knew that later I would be sorry that I had not done so.  Also, I knew that John would understand.  These photos do not represent professional work, but my subjective response to my participation.  [H] Lloyd
