    Aunt Donna, Michelle and Johnny- I am so very sorry for the loss of Big John. I recall fond memories of him with lots of laughs and never remembering my name but always recognizing me as Ernie Williams daughter, ( although my name is Michelle). Shelley words can not express how your caring heart gave so much in your selfless acts of kindnesses in caring for your Father. I love you and may you find peace and comfort as we pray for the repose of the soul of your Father. Forever Big John.

    I never knew John’s last name – he was always “Big John” I worked in the Senate back in the 80’s and remember him as a kind & thoughtful gentleman. Know that he was thought of well. My sympathies to his family.
