Maritzsa,
We were so saddened to hear the news about John's passing. His memory will live on in everyone's heart. He was such a kind and gentle man with the most infectious smile. His and your visits round his Uncle Nick's and Aunt Nikki's dining table were some of the best times we all shared together reminiscing and laughing about the good old days. John was blessed with such a full and wonderful life with you and your girls,Junior and his little buddy Danny! . He was such a proud husband,dad and grandfather of you guys. We will all miss him dearly but his spirit and generous heart will never be forgotten as he gave us all such wonderful memories to remember him by. We hope your memories of your life together with him will help you all get thru this very sad time. He was so full of life but we know that now he is at peace being with God and finally being reunited with his Mom and Dad and brother Barry. We are here if you guys need anything. We love you all. RIP John- we will miss you dearly!
