Much loved cousin. Very fond memories of visits in our youth. John introduced me to The Beatles, James Bond, and Mad Magazine. How can you not love someone like that? I’m so sorry to know you are gone, but glad that you are finished with the suffering. Love you.
Hi Lynn,
Thank you for the lovely thoughts about John. I’m sorry you could not be there for his funeral, but know that he is in a better place.
Fondly,
Lynne
I have been friends with John since 1966 when we grew up in the same neighborhood in Arlington. We’ve stayed in touch over the years and when I came back to the area in 1986 we were able to get together occasionally. Since I work in the Fairfax and Annandale area, we’ve been able to get together mostly for lunches every once in a while. For quite a few years John has been on oxygen and would bring his oxygen bottle along with us him until he was no longer able to leave his house in the last half year or so. John made the best of his situation and never complained. I had a great one hour visit with John at the Cobbdale hospice home, less than a week before he passed away. I cherish that visit and the other times we had together. I echo someone else’s thought that his suffering is finally over.
Hi Eric,
Thank you for being such a good and loyal friend to John. I know that he sometimes turned to you in times of trouble. It eases me to know there was someone like you in his life.
Kind regards,
Lynne
Growing up in the same neighborhood with John we had a lot of fun on bikes and playing softball, where he was known as “home run Finta.” I will always remember John’s kindness and sense of humor, which he carried through all the years I knew him.
Hi Dan,
Thank you for the nice thoughts and for being such a good friend. I truly appreciate that you stayed in touch with John over the years.
Kind regards,
Lynne
