To the O´Meara Family,
We were all so saddened to hear of John´s passing. My sister and I went to high school with John. He was so very popular and the star quarterback. He had a wonderful personality. Always had a smile on his face, friendly and kind to all who knew him.
Later, we realized that his Mom Joan was our neighbor in the Cove. We would see John from time to time visiting his Mom.
Our hearts go out to his family, and children
He will be missed by many.
Your in our thoughts and prayers
