John Fragos was a very sweet man, that was loved very much by his family, and will be mourned for a long time by everyone that was close to him. He was loved by not only family, but friends and neighbors. I knew him as a soft spoken man that was very pleasant to be around and talk to. He always had a story to tell. He will be missed very much by all!
