Roberta and family: I wish to extend my heartfelt condolence at this time. Your father lived a very beautiful life reflected in his love of country and community as well as his deep love and devotion to family. May you be comforted by the ineffable mercy and love of God. Your dad is now safely cradled in the arms of Mary gazing at the face of Christ. He has earned his eternal reward. Talk to him when you pray. He will listen. Blessings and prayers, Jocelyn.

I will always remember the summer cookouts down near the lake, the warm and best Tollhouse cookies and secret recipe, cousins running around the house, full of sweat, playing hide and seek until dark, and camping at the Mohawk Trail Campground.
Uncle John could tell the most exciting Indian stories and then fill our hearts and minds with wonder by chanting and dancing around the campfire!
Thank you, Uncle John, for so many wonderful and happy memories!
