Frankie, I’m so sorry to hear about John. I was lucky to have had him as a softball coach growing up. He was always so kind. Thinking of you all.

Dear Fran and family, I am so sorry to hear of John passing and your loss. I had the pleasure of working with John at RSB and considered him a friend as well as a colleague. He was a fine man. I will remember you all in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Liz Turner
