Personal note from Tricia Tork Gallagher, John's daughter

One of my favorite things about my Dad is his ability to make me laugh with his famous one-liners. We never knew what humorous things were going to come out of his mouth!

Please feel free to share any special memories you've had with him or any of his famous quotes that have made you laugh.
