Dear Rich, Jimmy, Mike and families,

Just heard about my dear friend John's death from Ted Flisk (also Tom Hutchinson). I'm so sorry for your (our) loss. Altho life took us in different directions, "Strauss" was the best friend I ever had -- I loved him dearly and feel the world is less w/o him in it. If you have a memorial service please let me know so I can come (Pam will be there too). John's w/ your Mom, Dad & Leonard -- also Dominic Parisi, Jean Whalen and so many others who died too early. Guess it's true that God's ways aren't our ways ...

Your old friend,

Greg Price (Rocky)

Haven't seen John in too long of a time. We use to hang out at Lor & Ed's and ride bike together. Great memories but knowing he is gone from here somehow changes our world. Great guy. Sorry for your loss
