What a nice person, and what a sax player. I often saw him at many jobs. I knew him from when I was a kid growing up in Willimstown. He will be missed, he will be playing that sax up yonder. A truly wonderful man as were his daughter Mary, also greatly missed. His son John, who I send my deepest sympathy upon his Dads' passing. God Bless to you and yours! Your friend P.J.
