Dear Martha,John,Lisa and family,
We were so sad to read of John’s passing. You have been such good neighbors and friends. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We will always have nice memories of John.
Marty,
My daughters remember your husband singing to them with a microphone in our living room sitting on the sofa. Even my daughter-in-law remembers him singing to her.
We had a lot of great times at the Holiday Inn in West Middlesex, where we played in a band there for 5 years.
I still have the recordings John and I made at the Peppermint Recording Studios in Youngstown, OH.
We will all miss him. Hope to see you soon. Please, let me know if you need anything.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May the words in Acts 24:15 bring you comfort.
