I was very sorry to learn of the loss of John. I always enjoyed seeing him and Sona at
birthday parties for my dad, (Lionel) at Fox Hills Golf Club in Plymouth.
I was also sorry to just learn that Sona had passed away as well.
Love to all.

What a smile......what a sweetheart.....what a dear cousin. And, I'm so sorry not to have heard of Sona's passing as I would have wanted to reconnect with John and express my sympathies. My thoughts are with their family.

I will always have a picture of John with cigar in hand and that wonderful smile and sparkle in his eye. May his family find comfort in knowing he is at peace and reunited with Sona.
