Dear JC, Dena and Dot. We send you our sincere sympathy. John was a wonderful neighbor. We had many conversations over the fence as we also had with your Mom. We are going to Marcy's in Maryland this weekend so I apologize for not being there with you. Please reach out to us whenever you have a minute. I feel out of touch with everyone since we moved out of Bloomfield. Our prayers are with you all. Love.
LaVerne and Joe Manes

I met Mr. D , as I called him, in 1985 His son JC and I met at Central Cathoic HS and then went on to be roommates at Slippery Rock. Mr. D was always kind and welcoming. He was a good man who cared deeply about his family and friends. It was always great to see him over the years and share a laugh or listen to his stories or watch a sporting event or maybe a Western together.
I was fortunate to be able spend time with him over the last few months of his life. He will be missed but...
