Tim (Mark) and Brian (Elizabeth) - I'm sadden to hear of your father's recent passing. Prior to his relocation to Cambridge, MA, he and my parents were regular attendees at the early morning weekday Mass at Blessed Sacrament Church and regularly looked after each other, especially after my Dad was placed in a nursing home. Your Dad and my Mother were well known "walkers" throughout Eastwood! Like my Dad, his bushes were his pride and joy. One of his pine trees was even chosen to be the City's Christmas tree a few years ago! On behalf of the Bob and Ginnie White family we extend to you our sincere condolences at this most difficult times for your families.

Dear Tim and Family, Seeing John regularly walking down the street was always a highlight for me and Coco (the Frenchie). Every time we saw John, Coco went crazy and ran to him. John always had a treat in his pocket and connected with Coco in a loving way. I miss John already. It just will not be the same walking down Broadway without the anticipation of seeing him. I do not want that to be a sad thought. Just a loving thought. Meaning it made a difference to see him. Our building and the streets surrounding it will be a lesser place. But in fact, I feel his presence on the sidewalks and will always hold that in my heart. You all took such good care of him. That should give you such peace. The fact that John was able to live in his apartment with your love, and loving nurses, and an upbeat environment was something you all should feel very proud about. It was such an honorable way to treat your father. He could not have had a better environment. Truth be told. I'm sad. Cambridge is in some ways a place where young people whip by you and do not take the time to say hello. John made the building and the neighborhood feel like a familial place. I am sending all my love to John and so is Coco. I am so glad we got to visit him right up until very recently. It meant a lot. I happy that John his now reunited with his loving wife. He will be missed here in Cambridge. Love always, Nancy and Coco
