John Joseph Kripas

My sincerest condolences to the Garside/Kripas families. Your video was really moving. I love the old pictures taken at Ocean Beach. They reminded me of some of my fondest childhood memories- Mr. Kripas taking Karyn and I to the beach in that gigantic old blue convertible. I'm truly sad for your loss, and you're in my thoughts and prayers. Love,
Erica Joseph Hunter

Back in the day-I was always amused to listen to Mr. Kripas give Kirk a hard time; all in good fun. This was usually the morning after Kirk had a night out and was a little under the weather. Mr. Kripas would throw out a wise comment at Kirk, and Kirk would do his best to fire one back. Knowing full well he was doing, Mr. Kripas would...

Kripas family, I am so sorry to read of your dad's passing. I worked alongside your dad at the Grotto. We had so many good times especially when your dad, myself and Spike Zingus worked the back bar.

The only problem i had with your dad was keeping up with him. Will never forget the peroggies he used to have in his mouth all the...
