My sincere sympathies on the passing of my friend, John. I saw him last at visiting hours for his beloved daughter, Linda. I am sorry to say that I missed the services for John due to my being out of state from Monday through Friday evening. I shared membership with him in the Cranston Vol Fire Museum and Oak Lawn Vol Fire Dept and also as a Retired Military man (Army). I have the deepest respect for all he has contributed to his country and community.
Being such a good and faithful husband, father, submariner and friend to all who shared his life, I am sure that his God had reserved a very special place for him in His kingdom. Carry on, John. We shall all miss you greatly.
