We are Ryan and Jesse Palermo-Varner. John "Lefty" Grehn was a dear family friend. He was a second father to Ryan and helped raise him.

Lefty was shot and killed in his home on New Years Day. We are working with Lefty's sister, Karen Rager, who lives out of state, to raise money for Lefty's funeral expenses. He didn't have any savings or anything like that, and we don't have the funds to get him cremated without this help. All funds will go directly to Karen Rager, his next of kin, to help cover these costs.

Thank you all for your support.
