May you rest in peace, John. There are so many memories you leave in the hearts of all those who love you. You were the best brother in law.
I am honored to have known you all these years. My sorrow will turn to joy when we meet again on the other side. God bless you for being such a good husband to my sister, Grace, father to 3 wonderful boys, and grandfather to 4 beautiful grandkids. Ciao, Giovanni! R.I.P.
