Rest In Peace cousin John.
It is sad that we have not seen each other for over thirty years. I am sorry for my part in that, life just would not allow it. I am sorry to hear of your passing and I know you will rest in peace.
HI JOHNNEE, it hurts me very much not to hear HI JIMMEE in return anymore. You were one of my best friends and it was always good to see you and discuss the bad play at the alcohol induced Geometric volleyball games. I, in a way, sort of grew up with you and the gang, teaching me how to live in a big city atmosphere. You were and always will be one of my best friends. I will always keep you in my thoughts and prayers knowing now you are finally at peace! I hope someone has let heaven know what they are getting, A GREAT GUY! Love you man.
