All the dinners that we had on College Drive on weekends were precious. Mom and Dad and I were there every weekend. I would pray that I could spend time with my cousins. Kerry, Audra, Kyle and a very young Trevor. You were a great man and brother. And you shall be missed. God speed my beloved Uncle. Too short a time. Never forget the time when we were living in New Jersey and we met you in NYC I think you were working for booth computer at the time. I think you were staying at the Waldorf. Amazing room. You guys wiped me out. I think I was like 7. Crashed on your bed. I think mom and dad held me out from school the next day. Fond memories. God Bless Uncle John.

Just a memory of the old days. While driving to and from grandma McCann"s house on Skyline Dr, as we passed through Daly City it was fun to see if we could see your house through the fog. Those days we could see your house were few, so you moved across the bay into the sunshine. May the sun shine on you for ever more.
