Condolences

Peggy and family,

I was sorry to learn of John's passing this morning. John, and I went through school together, and later worked together at what was then Continental Can Company (now Stone). John was a good man, and was always a joy to talk to whenever I happened to be by, and catch him tinkering on some small project in the backyard. My deepest condolences and prayers are with you and the family at this time. May his memory be eternal.
