I haven't even had a chance glance of John Valentino in 5o years..until 7/19/08. I'm a high school chum of Sandy's @ RB and John brought her back to my house after a 2 day visit of precious time they had together. I received a big hug Hello, we all chatted and laughed for just a little time as he was on his way to Missy's. I got a big hug good-bye as he said he didn't want to miss a chance for a hug. It was only hours before his audiance with our creator..I pray and trust that all or any fond memories of John will sustain family, friends and loved ones of his life.
