John Alan Nierode

My first memory of John is around 1969. He was in the Tampa area and was going to stop by with two of his friends (maybe graduation trip after high school)

I was very excited because he was one of my older cousins! My parents made spaghetti for dinner and what I remember most is that he had a good appetite, ate a lot of spaghetti and smiled a lot!

I saw him at family reunions over the years and always remember him as smiling and friendly to everyone - even us younger cousins. I am including a few photos of him at our last family reunion in 2019
