Anna I am so sorry to hear of Johnny's passing. He was one of the strongest union men I have ever met and I can't tell you enough how much I enjoyed working with him and I am proud to call him my brother. Johnny was always willing to provide advice whether it was work related, life related, or bowling related. He as well as all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

HERMAN you captured my heart because of the gleam in your eyes, when you spoke of your wife Cookie and the love , respect caring , compassionate and quirky sense of humor you possessed. You adored Missy and loved your boys. My life was blessed thru the love and protection you showed to your family and friends. I will miss you.
My prayer is for sharing wonderful memories you left behind , for blessings extended to Anna and Family. We had a lot of wonderful times. You two were made special...

The deepest condolences from the Chrustowski & Jackson families. Mr. Summers was always such a kind and friendly gentleman when Susan brought the families together. My father's own health prevents him from expressing his sympathies personally, but he wished for me to convey them to you on his behalf. Per your request, a donation to the Jimmy V foundation has been made in Mr. Summers' honor. May their research bring an end to the suffering caused by cancer.
