Jeanne,utter shock when I saw the obituary this morning, as was the case with Danny Johnson a few years back. Both of whom I adored, despite being so many years ago, the feelings came flooding back. God bless you and your family at this saddest of times . Pat, I loved you man. Ruth Boudreau from Winthrop, formerly of Everett.
