Uncle Johnnie was very special to our family. He and Aunt Mary would send us Christmas gifts all beautifully wrapped each year for many years. Our grown children have wonderful memories of those boxes that arrived each Christmas. They did not forget other special occasions also. They were truly loving and generous people.
There are many other fond memories of Uncle John and we will miss him very much.

Dr. Mancini was my first dentist and the Thomasma family dentist for years. We all loved his cheery demeanor which made going to the dentist fun!! Sorry to hear about his passing.

My sympathy to the family of Dr Mancini. He was a wonderful person. He was my dentist until I got married in 1968 and moved away.

I first met Dr. Mancini when I was
in grade school in the 50's. We left class and went to a room in the old high school where he fixed our teeth. He was my dentist until I got married and moved away.
I've enjoyed talking to him this
past year at the Villa while visiting my mother. We're all going to miss him. Please accept
my deepest sympathy.
