John, you were such a bright light in our cul de sac. We were privileged to be your neighbors for 25 years. You and Steve became such close friends over the years, thick as thieves! I loved hearing the two of telling stories from "back in the day". Two men from different parts of the East Coast, with such different backgrounds but so much friendship and love between you. Thank you for always working to keep our little neighborhood happy and safe. We love you
