John was simply a great guy. We moved to Quintard Ave. in 1984, and a visit with John and Lucy was always a high point of association meetings. His warmth and humor were a constant. Here are just a few memories . . .
He made us feel especially welcome when my husband, Steven, a builder, replaced the association dock. He was thrilled to have the association's water access improved. I will always remember him walking down the street, shirtless, to spend time on of of his boats.
When they were preparing to move, he told me he and Lucy had trunks of "stuff" in the attic, and that he was determined to clear it out. "It isn't fair to the children," he said. I have quoted him many times!
The last time I saw John, he was living in Norwalk. I asked him how to get in touch, and he gave me his business card. It read, "John Jinishian, At Large" AND SO HE WAS!! I treasure that card and the wonderful person he was.
Sending a big Grunow hug to all of you.
Best, Linda
