To John's Family, I wanted to express my sympathy and share just a couple thoughts. I knew your father and Pauline through bowling at the Hillbilly Bowl which he loved. He was always happy and encouraging but a tough competitor! We shared many laughs as he always had a joke. Always a gentleman. Many good memories of his life well-lived. Sincerely, Barbara
