    Johnny lived at 80 Rosalind St;I lived at 42 Rosalind Street. He was a year ahead of me at McQuaid. We played baseball at the dikes, riding our bikes across Westfield Street and over the tracks. (Not everyone knows even today what and where the dikes are.) He was a legendary home run hitter. Johnny also loved to practice chipping in his back yard. The 19th Ward was a special place to grow up. I doubt anyone realized then how special it was.

    Remembering the best days of life. Playing golf, baseball, basketball when we were in high school and college. Best of all, John was the best man in my wedding. RIP.

    Grandpa John was a giving, lovely man. I can recall the times I went to Rochester to visit and he took me everywhere!From Ontario to Niagara to eating new foods- He understood when I thought the bagel as a burger bun was weird l- being from Oklahoma of course. He loved to watch Fox News and we would tease about it. He was a good man and will be missed greatly. Grandma we love you and wish you all the blessings of the Lord. We know Grandpa is watching us all.

    Steve and I were shocked when we heard about John’s passing. Unfortunately Steve had some stomach issues and we were unable to see you last week. Please accept our condolences and prayers for you and John. Feel free to call us if you need anything.
