Bob, my mom Rosemary and I are so sorry to hear of Johnny's passing (to me you will always be Bobby and he, Johnny). I remember so fondly our happy times at Grandpa and Grandma's house for the holidays and birthdays. Remember how we used to head for the basement to play games and play with Grandpa's piston engine?! I remember so well the last time I saw Johnny. My husband Jerry and I were visiting my mom and stepdad in Manitowoc. Johnny was there with his wife and we had a nice chat. The thing I remember most about Johnny was that beautiful big smile he always had on his face. Anyway, I am so sad for you and your family as you struggle with another heartbreaking loss.
