Memories and Condolences
for John Bambalas
Carol Harbacek
August 1, 2009
My sincere condolences to Carol and her entire family. Johnny was my cousin, too. And I also called him Johnny Jr. In fact when Bonnie's daughter was very little she couldn't pronounce his name and wound up calling him "Juney Johnyer".
Johnny was always such a handsome guy. When we were younger, all of the Veach cousins would get together and play and sing "You Are My Sunshine" for our Grandmother. My how she loved that. Such good memories of such good times.
I'm sure Johnny will be greatly missed, especially since he was taken too soon.
My prayers and thoughts go out to all who will miss him.

John was known as Johnny Jr. to me. He is my cousin. We spent time together during our childhood. He was always such a nice, friendly, beautiful person. I was sad to hear he passed away and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
Sincerely,
