Not sure what to say?

Dear Barbara and Family--this is late in coming to you but had to let you know that upon hearing the sad news the world became a little dimmer--will never forget your most generous hospitality long ago when the Mertz gang arrived for the "Stones" concert.Besides the concert, I remember the laughter--he will always be remembered--you and your children are in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Cindy and Jim Mertz

Dear Jawback Family and Todd, I don't know where I will go for all of my special occasions from now on. There is no way to come close to the whole dining experience at Jean Louise's. The food was wonderful and I always laughed with Todd the entire time I was there. Thanks for the memories!

Dear Barbara and family
I was very sad to here about John I first met him in 1993 and knew what type of person he was he will be missed.

Aunt Barbara,

Dear Barbara,
My Deepest sympathy goes out to you and the children. John was a special person who was unique in every way. I spent many nights with "The Doctor" in Newark and boy can he make you laugh. His love for life was second to none and his love for his family was well noted. I will truly miss John and if you or the children need anything please feel free to contact me.
Love Dennis and Joyce Calzonetti & Family

We are very sad to hear about John passing away. He was a special person in my life. My mother and I loved visiting you at your home and restaurant. When I think of the special times and all the laughs we shared, I smile from ear to ear. He was one in a million. Cherish the wonderful memories. Love, Jennifer & Kenny Castel

We were very saddened to learn of John’s passing and send our deepest condolences. He always brought a smile to our face with his quick wit and we laughed with him at his entertaining stories. I always looked forward to visiting Savannah so I could spend time with you and John at Jean Louise. Fond memories of him will always be etched in our hearts. Our prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
