Still miss you, and think about you often John. When I transferred into L131 way back in 81, you were the first person I met. We spent many good tours together, and a few cold meat loaf sandwiches after a job. I always felt safe working with you.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You are in my heart, soul, memories, and thoughts and prayers. I miss you dad. I miss how you knew me without me saying a work and you being the quiet, kind soul that you are. You taught me morals above all else and if you don't have anything to say, don't say anything at all. You taught me to work your hardest and each of your 5 children and your 13 grandchildren do what you taught us to do. We are the only ones that will work. I wish we had more time. I have so much to ask, to know about you but I was too busy, short tempered, ignorant to think that time was not on my side. I thought when I was less busy we would grow old together, but I was Naive. However, you taught me and all your children, mom, grandchildren, Aunts/Uncles - Nieces and Nephews, Mother, Father and Brother, and Nephew who you were. You weathered the ups and downs in your quiet simple way so as to not hurt your kids. I miss you dad and I will never stop missing you. As you know you have your first grandchild "Lennon" and she looks like you - at least to me as do Mo, Liz, Bridie, Christian, Collin, Chris, Aidan and so many others. I pray I make you proud dad because you were the best father ever!!!!!!!!!!

I knew John from Pleasantville NY in the 60´s before Nam & after. I was 2 years younger & was friends with both him & Bobby & his parents. We spent a good amount of time together & he bonded with my mom. He wrote to her from Nam & sent pictures. Seeing some of these pictures brought back memories of one´s he sent my mom. As young teens we worked at Helen Whitting as cutters for women´s dresses. Good early times before Nam! We lost touch when he moved out of Pville but never out of my thoughts! Rest in peace my old friend & God bless!
