Grace and Family,

Robyn, Anthony, Jessi and I send our deepest sympathies. Uncle Johnny always had a joke, a smile and a hearty laugh. We will miss him tremendously, but we know he's in a better place. Our love and prayers go out to all of you.

Dear Grace and family,
Maria and I heard about Johnny today from my sister Ruth. I am glad that the last time in Rockland I was able to spend time with you two, our favorite cousins. We still remember the time Johnny drove to our wedding in winter to Syracuse NY. We will never forget either one of you.
