I grew up with John on highland street and my brother and I and John John would ride our bikes daily and go to garnsey Park and play all day long . I used to call him John John and he would laugh he was always so nice to me . We moved from highland ave when I was going into junior high and I would still see John John at the store once in a while and he was always happy to see me. Pay and John came to my parents 50 th Anniversary party and we had a real nice conversation about when we were young how we used to play outside all day long and we laughed going down memory lane. Rip John John you were a good friend. Annette ALstott (Hiller)
