I'll miss him terribly, he was best man at my wedding and my best friend when we were young. I'm sorry millie I just found out today,so my condolences are pretty late. Just found out today that Billy Cashman has passed, best of luck millie to you and your family.

John, so many good memories...from the days you & Millie were dating until we all sat partying on your deck every June listening to the 'Oldies'. And, of course, the Christmas get togethers when Millie went out and got everyone a gift, so you could play Santa. So. here's to the 'Good Times', John. You will be missed.
