This was my great uncle, I went to the funeral and got to meet even more Deedys. Growing up in Atlanta, I didn't spend much time with the rest of the New England Deedy clan.
John Deedy was an old and loyal friend. We worked together in Pitgtsburgh for the same guy, i.e., Cardinal Wright. We spoke a lot on the telephone these past few years. I shall miss him terribly.
