I'm so sorry to hear about uncle John. My thoughts and prayers are with you aunt Ida as well as Jay and Matthew. Uncle John was a incredible godfather and I have many wonderful memories of his outgoing and joking personality. I can picture that he is now reunited with his brothers joking and cheering on his favorite Boston teams. Love and thoughts to you all.
