John and Paul Lussier built our first home in Lincoln many years ago. They were both great guys to work with. RIP John

My condolences to Joan, John´s family, and friends. My big cousin. My fondest early memory was riding on his shoulders parading down Dexter Street. That joyful feeling still is active in my heart as is the love and inspiration that he made possible.
