  10. Sincere condolences and prayers. I went to school with John since Christ the King. May he rest in peace.

  11. CandleImageJohnny, you have been missed ever since you were last on CRU by both staff and patients alike! You were one-of-kind and always made me laugh when you’d get worked up over something silly. I hope you changed your mind and decided to drink out of those coffee cups you said you were going to put up on your display shelf, my fellow scary movie buddy. Since I’ll be out of town for your service, I’m going to have a viewing of Halloween III, in your honor. And we’ll always have our shared love for The Exorcist.

    My wish was always for you to enjoy your retirement, even though you always told me you wouldn’t. I guess you skipped to the good part. I hope you’re rejoicing with all of your beloveds. Cheers!
