Not sure what to say?

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I'm so very sorry to hear of John Jr.'s passing. We worked at the Pub several years ago and he would always help with closing up, stocking, cleaning and I would always insist that I would give him a ride home afterwards so I wouldn't worry about his safety, especially at night. He had the biggest heart and was always sweet. We use to call him "Bookie" as a nickname. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. You never forget the sweet people that come into your life.

Love,

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

good bye friend
