June & Family, I am sorry to hear of the death of your Dad. I have fond memories of when we were in high school and would walk down to the train station and when your Dad would get off work he would drive us to Venice Park. He was the last of the "Mathews boys" I am sad that they are gone. Of course, I miss my Uncle Len the most, and it is still hard to believe that my Aunt Florence is also gone. But that is life. May God and your many good memories comfort you and your family. June Juniewicz Johnson

Dear June and Ronnie,
You don't me, but my Mother Norma I. Haywood (Edwards) was your fathers cousin. We used to visit them in Mays Landing when I live there in NJ. I loved your mother and father. I am so sorry for your lost. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
Sincerely yours

The family of Steve and Beth Scott are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle Joe. I will remember him with fondness. He was a hard worker and a thoughtful man. I can still see him fixing up that blue chevy for June. I have good memories of both Aunt Thelma and Uncle Joe. My prayers are with his family at this most sensitive time.
