I offer my condolences. Altho I never met your father, I knew your mother Sallie Ann from Denver St. Occasionally I'd see her at Sears, the market, etc. She was lovely, always cheerful and friendly. I wish I had seen her one more time.

I met John when we both worked at RWMC. We spent many nights patrolling those hallways talking about who had a better team, John's beloved Red Sox' or my Yankees. John always forgave me for being a Yankee fan, he was that kind of person. He was caring but he was also the kind of guy that you wanted by your side when there was a code red in the ER. John was and still is more than a friend to me. He was a special person in my life and I know he's in a better place and is reunited with Sallie but I will truly miss him. My prayers go out to him and his family. Rest in Peace my friend.
