John Mann’s son

My dad was a goofy, bright, and sensitive man.

He loved the Cleveland Browns, watching match reruns and doing community theater.

He had a full scholarship offer from Heidelberg University in astrophysics.

He ended up floating into electrical contracting for his interest in solar power.

He loved the idea of cheap renewable energy.

He even studied to be an architect because he thought it would help him develop solar power cells.

Later in life, he became a computer programmer.

He truly had a gifted mind and could do just about whatever he wanted to with properly motivated.

People tended to like my dad.

He had a gregarious and colorful personality with an oddball sense of humor.

You took my dad from me.

You robbed him of the golden years of his life and the time we had together.

I miss him terribly.

You do not deserve to live.

You do not deserve a humane death.

You butchered two people for reasons I cannot begin to comprehend.

I have wanted you to die, yet I am faced with the reality that it will not and cannot be enough.

In order to heal, I must accept this and find a way to reconcile it against my own feelings.

I will continue to beg for his life to be spared, however it possible.

I want you all to hear it from a man that wanted him dead as a son to a man whose life was ended.
