To the McGetrick family. I just found out last night that John had passed away. I last talked to him last fall when I gave him a ride to his recently towed car. We were supposed to meet at Stanley's for lunch but it did'nt work out. I car pooled with John for many years going to Quonset with the Air Guard. He was a great friend and a super craftsman.
I will miss him dearly. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
Regards.
