This is beyond crazy, however John was a very dear friend of my parents while I was growing up. Jeannette and Bob LaPenna. I have nothing but the best memories with John ateaching me my vowels and always goofing around. When I turned 21 I went and visited John at his bar and it was like no time had passed (except I could drink now). Last night I woke up after a very vivid dream about John and figured it was time I look him up again considering I just moved to the area.. to find out he's passed is beyond sad. To anyone reading this, don't take a single day for granted.
