Nicollette, John Jr, Tom and Billy, My sympathy and deepest condolences on the Passing of Your Husband/Father. John and I became very close friends in the 7th Grade (1974) at St Tars in Chicago. After High School (1979) I didn't see John as much, but we always kept in touch over all these years. Johnny's Parents and Bro's and extended Family were some of the kindest, most beautiful people to ever come into My life. I have many wonderful memories of John and His Family. Far too many to count. May all of You find peace at this most difficult time and always remember the good times. With My deepest Sincerity, Frank "Buzzy" Cale
