Dear Marija and Family,
I was very saddened to hear of 'Johnny's' passing. I was away for the passed two weeks and just saw the notice today. Johnny was a wonderful part of my youth, being a friend of my brother Jim Kovach, and, I must say, the heartthrob of many of us teenager girls. I met John again anout 20 yeras ago one summer eveming as I was driving through West Lorne on my way to pick something up at the school where I taught in Rodney. A car was flashing its lights behind me, and when I stopped, it was John who walked to my car. What a lovely surpise! We sat together as adults in my car and had a wonderful half hour visit filled with amusing reminiscences, and, updates on both our lives...
My deepest condolences in the loss of a brother, father, husband, uncle and friend.
