Georgie & Gallagher family, our thoughts and prayers are with you all. John was a great man! He has been around our family for as long as we can remember. He was not only a great mentor, friend, and family to Aunt Tish... he was family to all of us. We loved seeing him every Christmas and catching up. John's humor and life lessons will resonate with us forever. He will surely be missed by many, including the Shouvlin girls! Much love and take care. - Sarah, Fran, & Maureen Shouvlin
