Uncle Johnny was the absolute best! My brothers, sister and I have nothing but loving and funny memories of Uncle Johnny and always - ALWAYS - were so happy when he came to see us. The love and kindness he shared with us will forever bring a smile to our faces and a warm place in our heart. It was such a bonus to have Uncle Johnny and Aunt Jean Marie together for even more laughs and love! Uncle Johnny - you made a difference in our lives and for that, we are eternally grateful. Your love and humor expanded to so, so many. We will all miss always.

John, you were always a loving and supportive friend from the first day I met you seventy years ago. A fine man in every way. I will cherish those memories.
