My sincere condolences to his niece and brother. I met John about 4 years ago when I started my sweet bread business and we quickly became friends. I learned so much from him about the Stonington community. My heart is broken and I will miss our phone conversations so very much. RIP John. Your little Portagee friend, Mary
