Johnny, how we enjoyed your visits to California throughout the years! I will always remember visiting you and Paula in Revere on trips home during my childhood, and the wonderful fresh fruit you always had in your refrigerator. One great memory, one of my earliest,is of our trip to Quebec, Linda and I were maybe 5 or 6 years old, and our two families had such a great time...you were such a comedian, always made people laugh, so full of mischief! And I was hoping to surprise you with a visit next week.
Love to you, condolences to Linda and the family.

Dear Godfather, you are in my heart and will be with me forever. I am sorry that the miles separated us for so many years, and always wished I could visit with you more. I offer my sincere condolences to Linda and her family, and my love to you, now and forever.

Your loving Goddaughter.
