Uncle Johnny: I'll always remember those many visits to Maine as a small boy watching You and the Cobb family gathered around the kitchen table and telling some of the funniest stories I've ever heard from the best story-teller I've ever known. I hope I inherited your great way of looking at life. You were an inspiration to me. I'll miss you...
Bridget and Jessica will miss there Grampy very much !
