Memories & Candles

John and Family: Sorry to hear of your loss. I remember your Dad attending the RR Club meetings with you. He was a friend of my Dad and had a well respected career in the RR industry. I know he was proud of your career as well. Thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

I will always remember how kind you always were. Never a harsh word to you ever speak to me. You will be missed.

Uncle Bud always encouraged me to do my best. Was the only one who believed I would one day play for the Red Sox. While I didn't continute my baseball dreams from when I was young, his faith was one of the reasons becoming a Marine was believable. Without him in my lif, I doubt I would be who I am today.
