My condolences to the family. He and my mother, Mary Jane Gee, were first cousins. I remember him and his brother, James Aaron , visiting my mother and uncle, Merlin Gee down thru the years. I am disappointed that I wasn’t aware Cousin John had passed until afterwards. Again my condolences to the family.
