    Oh dear! Mr. E was such a great neighbor. In my early years he was a second father as I was with John nearly every day. I have so many great memories of him. I'm really sorry for your loss, and I believe that it's truly a loss for the whole neighborhood. I hope that you all find solace knowing he is resting in peace. You all are in my prayers.

    Johnny, My heart was broken when you called me to say that your pap had passed away. We become such great friends when we rode together most of last year. He was like my adopted father. He would always make me laugh, and bring me goodies everyday for me and my son. I loved the time we shared together, and am so thankful for the chance to meet and work with Jim. He was the perfect gentleman, and I will miss him dearly! God Bless you and your family, and will be in my prayers.

    Many great memories. Mr E helped to shape our childhood and leaves us with many fun times, many laughs, and many happy neighborhood memories. We will never forget the slippers, the foam bricks thrown at the TV during steeler games, the funny conversations with Richard, and the reaction when John "fell" through the wall (sorry about that!) Rest in peace friend!

    Johnny, I was so sorry to hear about your Grandfather. He was such a kind and wonderful man. I will never forget how persistent he was about making sure I had my run back at work. He will be greatly missed. My Deepest Condolences to you and your family.
