John J. Kontra

I was just thinking about "Uncle John" just now when the Giants won. I wanted to send him an email. While looking for the United Die Site, I came across this. I'm heartbroken I didn't know. I truly considered Uncle John as my real Uncle. He was my father's best friend and the childhood memories I have with him will be cherished forever.

Kontra Family, We met John & Pat several years ago on a cruise with Pete & Rose Coccionitti. John&Pat generously bought a bottle of champagne to celebrate our last night. We had a wonderful time. Were so sorry for your loss. May your precious memories help get you through this difficult time. Dick&Louise Puleo Tonawanda,n.y.

I went to Sherman School with Johhnny. I remember his mother and little Marian. During WWII Northeast NJ was one vast arsenal and the Kontra family and their company were there with sparks flying. Ray Pfeuffer
