John was a very special man, his soft voice and laughter will always be with us. We went to dinner often and he would just sit and listen and laugh. He had such a loving spirit. Going to dinner at Danny's just wont be the same without him. Always in hearts Johnny B.
Much love the Scavuzzo and Cione families.
