John was all about family and we were so lucky to have him in ours. Such a handsome, pleasant, spiritual man who we often saw at Mass with grandkids in tow. "If I miss the 1130 at St. Anne's, you'll see me at noon at St. Anthony's," he would say, with a twinkle in his eyes. Always that twinkle, always that smile. Our patriarch for reunions once Bill and the priests died, always there for us in happy and sad times. Give 'em hell in heaven, cuz!

I remember going over my Aunt Erna's house to stay when my Mom had another baby. John and Jim always were kind to me and John being the oldest would talk to me and even play games with me. I remember he helped me up a tree that I was determined to climb. I will miss your smiling face cuz. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family, remember he is resting in the loving arms of his Father.
