I spent Saturday remembering all the crazy times we had. Dover, burying the needle in the his Olds 88 just going to Coast Auto, sending the wife to church while I sat with Rick and watched the 3 stooges on Sundays, Dover again, The ONLY guy who showed up to help me move. Stayed til dawn, steaks at 3 AM, horseshoes by flashlight at 4 AM. The Dolphin on his radiator ,Nascar, The Seattle Seahawks and the Beacon from Absecon, three doors north of the Hi Point, The One and Only Undertaker . Tuck-n-roll .

John! I was surprised to hear of Ricky's death! I have so many fond memories of babysitting you & Ricky. One time you both decided to be indians & tied me to a dining room chair! I remember when Ricky burnt his arm & I was allowed to sit with him at Shore Memorial Hosp., I was a candy-striper then, oh so many years ago! All the fun picnic's we had in the field/back yard. He's now with your mom & dad, Dougie and your grandparents: Mr& Mrs. Turner. Take care Johnny! Love, Kathy Lopez, DeLand, FL.
