My sincere sympathy to all the family. I know how much Uncle John will be missed. I have many memories of our families getting together and always Uncle John was at the center either with the accordian or the piano. I was always amazed when I would ask him to play a song and he'd say, sing a bit of it and then he would play it! WOW!
In church at various weddings or funerals I could always pick out where he was because of his strong wonderful voice!
On one of my birthdays we all were up at the cabin and he was playing the accordian - we were very young - maybe I was 11 which made Robert about 11 too. We were up on the Charcoal trail looking down at all the adults and laughing ... and Frannie snuck up behind us and scared us all- we went running down the mountain screaming and laughing! There was Uncle John calling that we should come join in the singing. It was so fun! I will really miss him!
Love to you all, Cecilia
