We would also like to acknowledge the mother of John's children, Patricia Cunette, as well as the many other loyal friends and family that made a significant impact on John's life. He worked for many years as an Engineer for Amtrak starting in 1969. He finished his career as a general contractor in 2003. John was a hardworking man and was always there to help his friends. He loved to be on the water in his boat where he was an avid skier and taught everyone he knew to ski; family, friends and neighbors. His greatest accomplishments, besides his family, were his vintage mahogany boats and model trains. He will always be remembered for his charismatic eyes and fun-loving spirit. His grandchildren will especially miss their 'Pepe'.
