John was a good neighbor, and our memories of his kindness will never be forgotten. May God Bless his soul, and give his family and friends strength to get through this difficult time.
My Uncle spoke highly of you and the Leone household. Hope to see you at the Memorial. It will be a military service under a tent in the parking lot of Millersville Mennonite at 435 Manor Avenue at 1 pm July 20th.
I am very thankful for the excellent care my Uncle John received at Hamilton Arms these past 3 years. He was kept clean and comfortable. He enjoyed the food and attention he received from Physical Therapy to Compassus when Hospice was needed. I visited from Florida often and was always pleased to see him looking so well and in good humor.
