To the Sweeney Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I first met John when he went to work for Rutherfoord and I was the underwriter assigned to that agency. John was such a nice and enthusiastic person and I enjoyed working with him on a few of his accounts. My wish for you is that you will find the strength to carry on and that your pain will turn to peace. Take care.
