So sorry to hear. I always remember your Dad sitting right outside the house in the chair and we waved to each other every time I went by. You always knew who was home because they were sitting outside with him. That is one of my best memories from Waunona Way. Thinking of you all! Brigid O'Keefe

My grandmother, Geraldine (Tennant) remembers growing up with John and told me how they used to ride a pony together. She said they rode it so often she was surprised that its legs weren't worn down to stumps. :-) She is sorry that she can't be there with you but she remembers John fondly and you are in her thoughts and prayers.

I just herad of Uncle John's death. He has been on my mind all week. Now I know why. I have too many great memories to pick just one but they all somehow involve cold baked beans from a can, grilled chicken and the best potato salad east of the Mississippi. I am sure that all our folks are having a grad time somewhere as it should be. Take care "Norm." With love always, Lora (Lori) Foreman-Krall
