@katiecouric : #FacesOfCovid: John "Jack" Ahrens died on Good Friday in his bed in Newton, Massachusetts just a few days after testing positive for Covid-19. Jack was a vibrant and curious 96-year-old (nearly 97!) who had an appreciation and respect for life that only strengthened with age. A self-proclaimed pacifist, he spent over two years in the Navy enduring some of World War II's most notorious battles (including D-DAY). He returned home deeply committed to creating and supporting peace on a local and global scale. Jack was open-mind beyond his years. He possessed an incredible level of patience and presence that made for an avid gardener, loyal friend, and deeply adored father. Jack rarely went a few hours without laughter and was always available for play, guidance or deep conversation! He was affectionately known to his 8 grand-children as "Bop Bop" and was so invested in his family that he would stay on for 3 more years after the passing of his beloved bride, Lois, to whom he was married for a blissful 67 years. He even started taking piano lessons for the first time, at age 94. During the final days of Jack's life, he was tended to by some of the most courageous, selfless and loving caregivers. They risked their health and safety simply to ensure that Jack was comfortable and that all of his beloved family could express their thanks and love on FaceTime. Particularly a man named Jason Last, who treated Jack as his own grandfather, coming in on his days off,  holding his hands and crying along with Jack's family... all of whom were aching because they could not be at his side.  Jason and Jack met four days before his death. They made heaven a place on earth during a dark time. Rest In Peace, Jack. You were deeply loved and you mattered. ❤️
