In loving memory of John Phillip DiPaolo 75 What it really all adds up to is love -- not love as it is described with such facility in popular magazines, but the kind of love that is affection and respect, order and encouragement, and support. Our awareness of this was an incalculable source of strength, and because real love is something unselfish and involves sacrifice and giving, we could not help but profit from it. -RFK John “Senior” was dearly loved, as our Husband, as our Father, as our Brother, and as our Friend. We received inspiration which he passed on to all that knew Him. He has always given us strength in time of trouble, help and wisdom in time of uncertainty, and sharing in time of happiness. Our Husband, Father, Brother, and Friend; John will always be by our side. John Phillip DiPaolo was born in Wood River Illinois on March 23, 1938 and passed after a brief illness while living in Keller, Texas with his family present.
