Very well said John was a wonderful man and will be missed by all that new him.
We love you Grandpa! Thank you for making us feel like a million bucks whenever we were around you. Thank you for always remembering our kids birthdays and holidays. When I grow up I want to be like you!
Oh Uncle John, the years have flown by but your memory has lived on with me forever. I still remember your warm bear hugs & designated spot on Grandma’s couch for Sunday sauce & football. May you rest in peace.
My heart is heavy. John and I had many summers together, while I stayed with his mom and dad. Those were the years I will never forget. Rest in Peace..love you Patty
John was a wonderful man who always had a smile on his face!
He will be missed by ALL!
John was friend and neighbor and good card player in our weekly or more often games in late 60’s 70’s. Enjoyed golf with George Kasper and Bill White at Clifton Springs. Good memories of John.
I worked with John at Gleason Works during the 70s. He was a delightful man and good friend. I loved his sense of humor and the interest he took in his colleagues. My husband, Ed, became a very close friend to John and always enjoyed his time with him. We always said that John was one of the good guys. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
God Bless our Aquinas Brother.
Mary Jo and I visited John and Ruth on Super Bowl Sunday afternoon after many years of “no see”. How did we find them? Long story. We go way back. We had a wonderful visit and update of the past. Divine Providence? I think so. Rest in peace John, You had a wonderful life.
John & I were cousins, but I thought of him as my God Brother because his parents were my God Parents. He was the salt of the earth, one of the kindest gentlemen that I have ever met.
Peace & love to Ruth & all the family.
RIP John. You will be missed. Who is going guide us on our trips?? You and Ruth are such a great couple. Our anniversary cards meant keeping track of it and finding new envelopes. Love ❤️ you Ruthie and family
