Therese and family. Our sympathies for your loss. We'll miss seeing John on our block. The hearty, "Hi," and the parting, "Have a good one."

We'll miss seeing him in the backyard, working on some project, cleaning his car, or cutting the grass.

May he rest in peace.

Your neighors, Sheila and Mark Hayes
