Uncle John was my mother's brother. I have such fond memories of putting them on the plane and sending them off to visit their brother Clarence. How they loved those trips to Vancouver. He loved to play cards and go to Joey's Fish on Tuesday where he could have all you can eat meal. It was a pleasure to make him and Sharon Chicken Soup. He lived a wonderful long life and his memory was truly amazing. He will be missed. My Condolences to the family. - Posted by: Joan Einarson (Niece) on: Jul 29, 2014
