I am so sorry for your loss. My condenses to Clyda and the family I remember I remember John from the days when we all lived on Broadway back in the 60s. Always nice, friendly, and sharply dressed. I was mostly friends with John's younger sisters. Again, so very sorry.

My deepest sympathy. He was such a nice man. I remember Mr. and Mrs. Clark from the bank I worked at two decades ago. Rest In Peace
