I'm just hearing about this and sorry for your loss John and I used to be friends I don't remember if we met before our Navy days or after the memory is not as good as it used to be. We belonged to the same CB Club and sometimes we've teamed up to ride together used to hang at his house a lot in Camden. Really don't know how we lost contact with each other but things happen as we get older again so sorry for everyone's loss.Bruce Levinthal
