We are so sorry for your loss. Uncle John was always there for us. He would visit us often, and when both my parents were seriously ill back in ’75, we was helping us daily. You could always have an interesting conversation with him, and he even took us flying. He was the best uncle I had. My family and I have you in our thoughts and prayers.

You were not only my dad, you were my best friend. In my heart forever.
Your amazing zest for life lasted throughout your 101 years, as did your love of family and friends, of which you had many. I will always miss you dad but I know you are at peace with our Donna and most recently her son our beloved Nicholas.
Uncle John was my favorite uncle. He came by our house every Sunday evening while my grandmother was alive and living with us. He was a dedicated son and loving brother to my mother Marie, his little sister. He always brought donuts or White Castle. And he loved to teach my mother new solitaire games, which she loved. I miss him.
