My thoughts and prayers are with the Cassano Family. I met John years ago when we all lived on Wallace Street in West Pullman. He was a quiet guy and very nice. I am sure he will be at peace to be with his brother, Mike and his Mom and Dad. My deepest condolences to the Cassano Family.

I had the opportunity to meet Gohn in his later years in life and he was always kind to me. He knew how to make people laugh and had a good sense of humor. I wish I could have known him longer, he will be greatly missed.
