My deepest sympathy to the Riley and Kovach families. I got to know John when he married Helen. He was a sweet man and they made the cutest couple. I really enjoyed seeing them together.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Al and John have been friends for over 50 years. Alot of times when I cooked soup, chile or spaghetti I would send a quart jar of it with Al to work. He would put it by the furnace to heat it and when he came back it would be half gone!! John would laugh and say "I left you half. Tell Alice it was really good". Al had been calling him and they would talk about their memories and old friends. John was a really nice guy. We were going to come out but Al is in a wheelchair and I have a cold. We are sorry but just can't come in this bitter cold. Our prayers are with you and your family.
