Bernard, Gene, and family, My deepest condolences to you. I was really
saddened upon learning of John's death. I recall the years of friendship we
had in Hillman PA, the water pump near your house, and the games we played
in the street, and the time John and I just rode in the car going nowhere
and not even saying much to each other. So many memories from back home. Jim

Relation: Friend and Classmate
John was a high school classmate of mine at Mapletown, Pennsylvania. It was
so sad to hear of his death. His cousin, Andrew Brozak, was my best friend
in high school and we associated with him daily with pleasure. He was a
great basketball player and I was glad to hear that he served our country in
the military. It is certain that he shall be missed. I only wish he had
attended our 50th reunion so that I could have had personal contact with him
again after so many years. My image of John is that of when he was 17 yrs.
old. I shall continue to remember him as a youthful, energetic individual.
Please express my condolences to his family.
