To all the Massa family, I'm so sorry to hear of your father's death. I didn't really know John until he came to Texas with Maye. My daughter and I instantly thought he was was such a great guy! We cared about him alot. He was such an interesting guy. Actually told me stories about my Grandfather, Solmon Chase, who died when my father was a teenager. I didn't think that there was anyone alive who knew him. Such interesting stories he told us. He loved all his kids so much and talked about each and every one of you with great love and pride. Our thoughts are with you...Beth Chase, Heather Chase and Wilma Chase.

It mentioned that John was survived by "Mae" Massa, but did not mention that "Maye" (correct spelling) was his wife. Just noticed that detail and wanted to make it clear. Thanks.
