I am so sorry about Uncle John. He was an amazing person. Never forget them letting us stay at their house on our trips between PA and Mich. Always a fun guy to be around.

Dearest Louise and Family,
Sending my heartfelt condolences on the loss of John. I was saddened to hear of his passing. John was larger than life. Always smiling, always had a joke to share. I have the fondest childhood memories of John & Louise visiting my Mom & Dad (Chuck & Jean). Roars of laughter would be coming from wherever they were. John was so funny. The night my sister was born in 1971, I clearly remember John and my Dad having a cigar and a drink to celebrate. Such a sweet memory. I will always remember him with a smile. A life well lived. He will be missed. May he rest in eternal peace. God Bless your family.
