John, Sorry to hear of your dad's passing, he was a good man fun to be around. We had some great times with him during our years in boy scouts. There aren't many good father role models in this world, but you and your family were blessed with a fine example of what a father should be. Always remember the good times and he with be with you always.God bless


Sincerely, Bob Laurie

Uncle John will always be remembered as a kind and gentle spirit who knew when we needed a laugh, knew when we needed someone to listen and especially knew when we needed a hug. Praying that you will find comfort in remembering the way he laughed, the stories he told, the guidance he gave, and most of all his love. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you. Love, Lora, Walter, Carmel Ann, Bob, Barbara, Angelo, Peter, Linda and Aunt Louise
