John,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. I know what the loss of a parent is like, my heart goes out to you and your family.

Dear Cathy, I felt sad to read about John. I I remember he had his Harley in the garage, clean and covered with plastic. A beautiful house, pond, dog and wife. I wish you luck and health. Gene Drozd
