I had the pleasure of working with John when he was a greeter at Warehouse Club in Bridgeville. He was always ready with a smile and an offer to help where needed. My deepest sympathy to the Astfalk family for your loss.

Sending deepest sympathy to you and your family in the passing of your dear Father ~ I happened to notice his death in the Post Gazette and although we go way back to high school and also visits in your medical office ~ I haven't seen you lately ~ however ~ please know that I am thinking of you ~ Dad's are so special and the parting farewell after our entire life with them is very difficult ~ how beautiful that he is being lifted with full military honors ~ our Dad's really were the greatest generation ~
Peace be with you ~
