To Marg & the boys,

When I saw the notice of John's passing in today's paper it immediately took my mind back to Monogram Avenue and by-gone days. I remembered how John would be up all night making his chocolate-covered cherries. He was always so willing to share one of his delights. I remebered John Jr. and Rick with race cars and motorcycles. I remembered baseball games in the cul-de-sac and hide-and-seek after dark in the summer time. There were countless hours in mom & dad's pool. Hopefully our children will have similar memories about us down life's road. My thoughts and my prayers are with you all at this time of mourning and also of celebrating John's life. May God bring comfort to you all.

Your former neighbor,

Don Minch
