    John, I did not know your father well, but I always enjoyed his political views on the rare occasion that we did meet. You have my most sincere condolences.

    Dear Aunt Marilyn and John, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Uncle John always had a quip , an easygoing manner and a glint in his eye. John served his country in the US Navy. He was also a generous uncle. We will not forget him. Anna and I send you our prayers. Greg
