To Tim:
My name is Sharon and I'm Michelle Damone's mother. I knew the John Ierardi who owned the bowling alley. He was my "Step-grandfather" for a while. I was at his wife's bedside when she died where we lived in Roslindale, Mass. My mother was married to Jack. They had a son John Francis the 3rd. He is my half brother whom Michelle and I are looking for.
I was a child when John and Jack were a part of my life. Jack worked at the bowling alley for his father. Jack had a sister, bea Lombard who lived in Stoughton with her husband Arthur. They eventually adopted my half brother.
I talked to Mr. Erardi and he seems to think he may be distantly related to the elder John who died in 1978. This is all so interesting. Don't know if I can help.....but my e-mail address is
