John J., as we always called him, was a prince of a man. He was a distant cousin. I loved talking with him and looked up to him. He always had a funny story, mostly about folks living in his neighborhood. I have lost a good friend.

John. I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I knew him as a child growing up. He carried himself at the highest level of a man and was always a very pleasant person t be around. May God bless you and your family in your time of need.
