Not sure what to say?

To the Leydon family I am very sorry for your loss! John was a great friend.

What a wonderful friend and neighbor. Very sad that Kathy and I won´t enjoy his company at the Friday night gatherings at C building, and the terrific sweets that he baked himself . What a crafty poker player as well (he and his progressive pot stud game. I remember it with a smile). Kathy and Dan Mefford

Dear Betty-my heart aches for you during this sad time. I´m sorry for the loss of your sweet John. May all the good memories you have shared hold you close in your heart and may you find comfort during this difficult time

We alwys looked forward to seeing John's color coordinated outfits as he was alwys the best...

Very sorry for the loss of your brother Jimmy and my sympathies to his family.

Betty, My heart goes out to you during the past week. May the sweet memories with John be a comfort for your broken heart. I send my love and sympathy.

He and Betty had an interest in Art and my wife and I treasure a memory of a visit we shared with them to a local art museum. He was a world traveller and enjoyed a recent trip to Art museums in...

Jim, my deepest condolences to you and your family on your brother John's passing, God Bless him. Sincerely, Brian Caine.
