Am not sure if you are the same John Cummins that I used to have a few libations with at the old Riveria Lanes lounge in Melrose Park in the early 80's. If so, I just wanted to express my condolences to your family & friends

for their loss. You were a good person to be around with as you had a great sense of humor & a gift of gab when it came to relating a funny experience/story. I was one of the guys that included Mark, Chuck, Kurt, Frank Gote, et al. Rest in peace. Sincerely, Joe H (AKA Quiet Joe).
