Mila, Erika,& Janeene, I knew John back in the 60's when he had a head shop on Sansom St. We had mutual friends from Westbroook Park/ Clifton. I later had the plesaure of working with John as a bricklayer. He was not only a master of the trade, he was a pleasure to work with. He had a thousand jokes and a thousand tricks. John was always a gentleman and a union man. We had great times remembering the old days. He led a rich full life, and was proud of his family. He was blessed and he knew it.
