Gods Peace .. Grandma Rose now has both her sons with her //
memories of him teaching me to fish for flounder on 61st as a kid I hold close to my heart. Even at 48yrs old I still kept in touch and I always liked talking to him. A colorful man with lots of knowledge. Rest in Peace John. I will miss you.
