Peace be with you sir.
Please accept our sincere sympathy
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Diane and your family. John and I were good friends from Alhambra in Collinwood. I always keep a special place in my heart for my childhood friends. I know he will be missed by you all. God bless.
I had the pleasure of working with John in my barbershop when he’d filled in. He was very passionate about his work and his family and referred to me like a daughter, that made me smile. He also worked with my dad as a barber. So sorry he had to leave this world to soon.
Jeff and I extend our condolences and prayers to Diane and her family.
