Uncle John was always as decent a guy as you could ever meet and I enjoyed all of the time I spent with him over the years. He fought a hard battle against a terrible disease. I saw Uncle John most Christmases, Easters and Thanksgivings as a kid, in addition to many other family gatherings, and always enjoyed his company and was very fond of him. I will miss him alot. My condolences to Aunt Rosie and my cousin Jay for their loss.
