It's been a long time but John, Larry and Elaine were such great friends during our air force stay in Rome in the late 60's. I'm Suzanne Mccord (Genovese)..now in Altamonte Springs. Fl. I think of those great times a lot and always wished we'd have stayed in touch. John was such a great guy and was always bringing new found treasures by to show us. His refinishing of old wooden pieces of furniture was extraordinary... those were the days. I tried finding all three so many times to no avail and looking again tonight...I found John.. my sincere condolences.
