Your Dad was a special person. Sorry to hear of his passing. We had known him I was in high-school. Both he and your mom had been friends for a long time. When Mike and I got married your Dad's band played at our wedding reception and he was also our wedding photographer. Our sympathies to all of you.

So sorry to hear about your dad's passing. He was such a special guy. We're so glad we had the opportunity to get to know him and your mom during the few years they were at our church in Decatur. Praying for all of you during this difficult time

Cousin Johnny, it´s been many years since we knew each other growing up in white plains. It was a simpler time and in many respects a better time. I suspect fate was responsible for the Janero families to settle elsewhere. Life would have been different had that not occurred. Goodbye cousin Johnny, I´ll be with you in the not to distant future. Condolences to your family.

My first memory of your dad is rooting us on out at the softball field in high school . He was always so nice and funny. It is funny how as you grow up and become adults how the parents who shaped you and rooted you on and once seemed so much older become more like friends this was true with your dad. I ran into him not to long before he got really sick and we sat and talked for about 15 minutes I am so glad I had that moment with him. I am sending you all my love and prayers he will be missed.
