John T. Thorpe, Jr

Remembering John puffing on his Optimo cigars while Ralph puffing on his Duke of York cigars. Both of which I had the pleasure to have worked and been associated with at Trojan Hardware back in the late 70's.

I worked with John at Trojan back in the late 70's. John was a character and fun to be around with along with smoking those Duke of York cigars.

To my cousins John, Mary and Bobby my prayers are with all of you. Uncle Johnny was my favorite uncle he always called me McBeth and love to joke around he was like a child in a adult body he was always doing something. The most thing I thought was the best is him doing dish he just loved doing that. Uncle Johnny now you're withma Kay and I know in my hart you are very happy , thanks for being the uncle you were and giving me beautiful memories give kisses and hugs to all up their love you . Mary Beth (aka) McBeth.

My Uncle John was so kind ... allowing me to put a pair of pinking shears on layaway for my Mom, when I couldn´t afford to pay for them all at once. He was just that way. He loved to `be there´ for people.

I will always cherish my memories of lunch with you, at Manory´s and Charlie´s Hot Dogs, in downtown Troy. He was a special person in my life. He loved to laugh, and his Christmas tree was ALWAYS ready!

Love you Uncle Johnny,
