Dear John: My deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your father. I first met your Dad when I was about 17 years old. He was a great mentor and friend that taught me many valuable life lessons. He was one of the most highly dedicated employees that I ever met. He took great pride in maintaining the Town’s six public cemeteries. He was always kind and patient to the visitors that came to the cemeteries. He was a true gentleman to everyone. I’m glad that he was able to enjoy writing songs and performing music with your Mom when they were younger. May he rest in peace.

Primo John,
Lamento muito a partida do teu pai e meu tio Jorge. Tenho as melhores recordações dele, desde a infância, como uma pessoa generosa, cheio de alegria para distribuir por todos. Ele foi um fora de série para o tempo dele, e teremos sempre muito orgulho das suas músicas que tocam pelo mundo inteiro. Foi um verdadeiro privilégio todas as vezes que ele e a tua mãe cantaram só para nós. Jamais será esquecido. Um abraço.
