John will be sorely missed - he has been so good to my parents over the years.....my dad enjoyed fishing with John in Florida and watching football together when they were down there visiting for the winter. My prayers go out to Nancy and the rest of the family. God bless you during this very sad and difficult time. Marcia (Bell) Petrusky
