Sorry about hearing about my cousin John but always known as "Buddy" to me. He was a proud veteran, dedicated husband to Lillian and wonderful father to his children. His sense of humor was truly a talent and unmatchable.

God bless and enjoy your great reward and reunion with friends and family.

With fond memories, Peggy Mogren Caserta
