Uncle John, you are missed by many. I just watched Aunt Estelle and your 50th Wedding Anniversary video tape. It brought back very fond memories.
John Jr., Pat, and Carol - sorry for your loss.
Much Love,

Please accept my deepest sympathy at the loss of your wonderful dad. I'm sorry I didn't make it to his services. He was a great man - so kind and gentle, always with a smile. I will miss seeing him taking walks around the neighborhood. Your mom patiently waited, now they are polka-ing in heaven.
With love,
Sarafina
