I´m so sorry for your loss, Larry, Ginny, John´s brother and family, Sheila and Cam.
John was a great guy, and when I saw him and him inquired about you Larry, it always brought a smile to his face. Larry, I know how proud your parents were of you.
Love to you and your family,
Cousin Shannon

I remember always seeing John at Augustana where he was visiting his mother. He always had a warm smile and greeting.
