I was sorry to learn that John has died. When I first moved to the neighborhood in 1972 John and his wife Mary were some of the first neighbors I met. John was very active in the Southside Neighbors CDC group and without his input the Dante Alighieri Society center would not have been built just a few doors from his home. He was a neighborhood fixture for years on his daily walk. My condolences to his family.
