My deepest sympathies to Johnny's Family, I worked with Johnny in the Main Lab at the Bethlehem Steel Company in the 1980's and 90's.. I would talk to him almost daily, we were always laughing and joking. He had a great sense of humor, and just an all-around great friend of mine. I wish I could have kept in touch with him, after retiring but I moved to South Carolina and lost touch with all of my buddies from the Steel, but I really enjoyed all of the times we had working together.

God Bless,
Bruce Gasdaska

Dear Fran, thought it has been decades, I still remember your wedding day when you came out of your house for pictures and to leave. I am so sorry on your loss. Enjoy your memories as they will bring smiles rather than tears eventually. Deepest sympathies, Karen
