Uncle John was a blessing to anyone who had the fortune to know him. The loss of such a gifted, gentle soul is tremendous but my broken heart is consoled knowing he is back with our loving family.

I didn't know John personally but want to thank him for his love of country and care for his parents. Also for his sister Rita who is my best friend I know her heart aches but time will pass till you will all be together again. God bless you and keep you in his loving arm's. Donna
