Surely Johnny, Bill, Jim Logan and all those other old timers are enjoying good times together again. God bless you and your family.,
To the family of Johnny Moore, Jackies mother was my mother’ sister. As children we enjoyed a fair amount of time together until he joined the Air Force. we met several times throughout his life here in the northeast after he left the service. I still remember his infectious smile and enabling laugh. Although our time together was limited I want to express our condolences to you all. He was truly extraordinary individual! He will remain in our prayers and thoughts. Cousin Al
Time is passing. Snow is on the mountains. When does it get easier? I miss you Jack. Thank you Albert.
