    Very sorry to hear of John's passing. I worked with him for many years while I worked for ACLD/LDA, and used Typecraft for our printing jobs. A true gentleman. May you find peace in your memories.

    Aunt Mary Ann, Mark, Maureen, Christine... I send my sincere condolences and positive thoughts to all of you at this time. Uncle Johnny will always be remembered as a good man in so many ways. Know that this is a continuation of life, a process and just a part of the beginning. Have peace in knowing that and the support all can offer at this time.
