I would like to express my condolences to all the next-of-kin. If helps to ease the sorrow you are naturally feeling at this time, I would like to remind John's brothers of those halcyon days back on Hillside Avenue. My older brother Eddie and I used to hang out with John and his brother, Ron, back then. And, we used to get into a lot good-natured name calling, back and forth, whenever the old joke about being related to the founders of the fruit juice company resurfaced.
Rest in peace, John.

My condolences to all the next-of-kin. My older brother and I always had fun hanging out with John and Ron on Hillside Avenue, back in the Sixties. We especially loved to tease them by asking them if they were related to the founders of the fruit juice company.
