I'm sorry for your loss and I'll pray for your family. I share fond memories of your home in Lake Station and John, me and Terry hiding out in the yard in the tent....and playing ball down at the local fields....I'm glad we never gave your parents reason for concern!?! Your dad was a great man and I enjoyed both your mom and he and how your home was always a welcome place for us as kids. God Bless, Vince Barnes
