Reggie Cross wrote a sympathy message

“My name is Reggie Cross from Massena. I had known John and his brother Bill for many years. For the last few years John and I would talk as he wanted to know the news of Massena. I am probably the only person of his age still around. John was a great guy had a great scents of humor. He could also tell a good story. maybe embellish a little. John and I had some great conversations. I will miss him and our talks.”
