Whoever wrote this article it is inaccurate. Michael was NOT born to John C Nionakis in 1964. John C Nionakis has only one biological son. I should know it is me – signed John C. Nionakis.
Congratulations Michael! I remember you working at Crystal Carpet and being so kind and helpful to both Tom & Marion. I’m not surprised you’re doing so well. – Mary H.
