I was lucky enough to have John & Joan as my neighbors for the past 15 years. They were so kind, considerate and very loving individuals. I will miss them both.

The quality and virtue of one's life is seen in the actions and accomplishments of his children. John was obviously a loving and honorable man to have raised such kind and generous sons. God bless your soul and the watch over your children from the Kingdom of Our Father.
