I remember uncle John and Aunt Ann from Marktown days! I often wonder about the rest of the family. Maybe one of you can drop me a line.

Grandopa, you know you were nothing short of my Superhero. I'm so grateful for the gift of time I was able to spend with you enjoying simple pleasures...watching The Wheel, making you chocolate malts and working on your crosswords together. Soft spoken, but strong willed, you set a standard for kindness, patience and compassion. I will treasure every memory I have with you and Granny, and hope you are with her again.

Chuck and Dennis, Sorry to hear about Uncle John passing. I think of you two quite often and wonder how you are doing. May his memories fill your hearts with much joy. Your cousin, Pat Pollack Lushbaugh
