To the family and friends of John I extend my synpathy and I am sorry for your loss. I have never forgotten John since we traveled to Italy together back in 1955. A great individual and fun times to be remembered always.

To my friend John who I met in 1955 when we as carriers for the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph traveled to Italy together. May you Rest in Peace

To the Gaily Family,
I was so sorry to hear of the sudden death of John. I remember growing up and visiting everybody on the south side, with Auntie Lil. Our mothers were such very good friends. Our prayers and sympathy to everybody.
