Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus Deus, in Sion,
et tibi reddetur votum in Ierusalem.
Exaudi orationem meam;
ad te omnis caro veniet.
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
A hymn becomes you, O God, in Zion,
and to you shall a vow be repaid in Jerusalem.
Hear my prayer;
to you shall all flesh come.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
My love to Aunt Theresa and all my cousins and the entire extended family.

May we honor his life and cherish each memory he left with us. I will surely miss his brief but enlightening points on the most simplest standards. I also cannot forget the time when I introduced him to a young man and their after-comment was "How can a man who fathered SO MANY gave me an impression that he was without stress and be quite humorous?" My reply was "Watch and take good notes my man!" Amen

We have not been together much these past years but will never forget the earlier years at the St.Ann's 18-30 club, followed by marriage and many beautiful children. John will always be remembered for his grit, determination and smile.
