Not one, but many, shared memories. We both had sons the same age, and found ourselves together rooting for them at numerous baseball and hockey games, often after lengthy drives. John was so incredibly proud of both Trey and Nick. I know he has had some physical challenges, and was fortunate to have Denise at his side. I'm happy he is in a better place.

Rest in peace John always ready to lend a hand friendly. You will be reunited with your brother. Prayers for John’s family.
