My condolences to Margaret, John, Linda & their families. John was a friend of mine for many years. He truly loved his Harley & I enjoyed riding with him. I was sad when I heard he had cancer. He sure fought it very hard. Now he is an angel looking down on all of us. He is also reunited with his good friends, Ray & Dottie Bujalski. I know they are enjoying a beer & talking about their boating and hunting days. Rest in Peace my friend, you will be missed. I will be making a donation to The Salvation Army in your name.
Thank you Florrie for your kind words.
