John was a great guy I grew up with him and lived on fairway ave. We played endless football and baseball games. We always hung out on his porch with all the kids on the block and played touch football. Some of the best days were then with John and his brother Chuckie. So much fun thank God for those great memories. Farewell my dear friend.
