I just saw this and I’m very sorry for your loss John, and your entire family. John was the one who turned me on to the Sabres back in elementary school when we were nine or so. Gilbert Perreault was my favorite player from then on. I’m very sorry to hear of the loss of your brother and you and your family are in my thoughts.
