  1. I am sorry to hear that Uncle John has passed away. Even though I have not kept in contact and have not seen him since I was young, I still remember him and I remember Mom talking about him.

    Sincerely,
    Aaron

  2. Our thoughts and condolences go out to Mickey and family in the passing of John.
    We’ll miss those mall chats with John, as he was waiting for Mickey, in these final years. Mickey we hope to see you soon.
