I was so sorry to learn that Uncle John had passed away.
I didn’t get to know him much as he moved to Fargo about the time I moved to Bismarck. I do member that my mom, John’s sister Rita, liked him as they grew up.

I remember all the laughter when Uncle John was around. He came to my graudation, and several family gatherings.
I remember the time we went to your cabin with my family, Donna, and Aunt Theresa oh what a great time that was.
You are going to be remembered always by a smile and laughter…
I love you Uncle John…
