Mr. DeRosa,

I have many memories of Johnny, but this is my favorite. I had a visiting mouse in my apartment, as he watched me cut a piece of cheese for the trap, he loudly exclaimed "whoa, for a piece that large I'll get on the floor". He was always that wry and funny! You are missed already. Anny get your gun

Dear Uncle Johnny,
I will always picture you with a smile. You had an open mind & an open heart, always willing to listen to new ideas. You were mentally a very young 90 & lots of fun to be around.
Thank you for being such a wonderful uncle to me, always accepting the many changes in my life. I'm so glad that my boyfriend John got to know you before you got sick. He truly enjoyed you also. Rest peacefully, Uncle Johnny. God knows you deserve it.

We will miss Uncle Johnny's smile very much. He always had a kind word & good advice. It was always wonderful talking with him. He will forever be in our thoughts & prayers.
