Missing the old days of vacations with the family.
So much has changed since then. Wish I could go back and relive some of those moments. Just have to hang on to those memories. The good ol days.

My friend Bill, we worked together at Duraglass Center at 14th and Adams for several years. I have so many memories of that time period, like the Silver Nitrate accident in Larry Mull's brand new lab, the trips to run plastisol and coating trials in Glassboro and Constantine, Metal Decorator Conventions etc. Sorry it took me so long to find out you passed. RIP young man.

I remember one important thing that I learned from Bill. It was at the family reunion and Bill had spent part of the morning making baked beans. He had a senior moment and accidently added double the amount of bacon. After I had some I realized that you can not have to much bacon. Joan and I will miss Bill.

I'll never forget the Bayer-Kwiatkowski conversion van vacations. Those are some of the best memories of my childhood. Rest in peace "Farmer John".

My husband, Francis Granata, worked for John at OI. My husband always had kind words for John. We became friends with John and Rosalie and their young children. A very loving family. May God surround your family with love and give them strength.
