John was my husband Marty's oldest brother whom I met in 1984. He and his wife Kathy welcomed me into the Gribbin Family during a difficult time when John Sr had passed suddenly at age 62. John had a way of making me smile even while feeling sadness for the loss. I am comforted to know both John and his father are now together again and smiling at us all from Heaven. He was a good man and will be greatly missed.
