Dear Arlene,Maria,and Stephanie- Please accept our Deepest Sympathy on the passing of Johnny. He was always welcoming, funny, and an engaging conversationalist. I will always reflect back in time of the escapades that took place at the family pig roasts, Christmas Eve Italian dinners that Arlene prepared so well and effortlessly, but most importantly, the Love you could see in his eyes when he looked at his family. He Loved his family more than life itself. It will be a difficult process getting used to him not physically being around but you can definitely count on the fact, he will be will you in Spirit. Love you all, Sean & Lisa Feeney
