Mary Alice & John Martus
John Wsare was indeed a beloved figure at Jake's, the "Cheers" of Rehoboth Beach, for many many years of Friday night Happy Hour with our favorite singer Jimmy Bones (before JB moved to Florida). As fellow transplanted Washingtonians, we enjoyed sharing memories of the old days in D.C., of the infuriating up-and-down Redskins (mostly down) and the lately hot Washington Nationals, and the fun life on the correct side of the Bay Bridge with new friends and experiences especially at "our" Jake's. We were there when John & Mickey renewed their vows at a lovely ceremony for their 50th wedding anniversary. John was a kind man with a good heart and enthusiastic personality, always glad to see his friends, and a man totally devoted to his Mickey. Rest in peace, dear John, and sympathy to Mickey, Linda, and the rest of the loving Ware family.
