So sad to hear about our cousin Johnny’s passing. So many fond memories of him as we grew up below the “older ones” who we loved following around. He was so close with my mom, first cousins, and she would proudly call all of her children when he was going to appear on TV, a movie or even in a Broadway show, to make sure we tuned in to watch his talent. My memories of his mom, who was my Godmother, are always so sweet. I am so sorry, Agnes, for the loss of your dear husband, and Sean, your father. May his memory be eternal in your hearts, and the hearts of many who loved him. Sending prayers your way, Margaret Kilfoil
