I am so sorry to hear about John’s passing. I grew up in the neighborhood and worked with his wife Patty and will work on Jamaica Avenue. I had many a nice dinner at their apartment on top of Heinz’s Deli. Her son Kevin was such a sweet little boy. We lost touch after they moved to Pennsylvania. I send prayers and strength during this very difficult time.
Love and prayers, Patty Negrete South
