Tina & Family - I just found out about John's passing. My heart & prayers go out to you, the boys, Linda & Jackie. John never returned my phone call so I had no idea what was going on. I seldom see Linda & I haven't see Jackie in years. If you ever want to talk I am on Facebook Cindy Radesky. Take care. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Knowing that Johnny is walking with God's Angels now is a soothing thought. He knows no pain, no suffering, just peace. He never met a stranger...The first time we met him it was like meeting an old friend, he was one of a kind and he will be missed by many. He is not gone.. He has become your Guardian Angel...watching over you until you join him. May you find comfort in all the great memories you shared. We are here for you all.
