I really miss you dad. I hope you know that you were a great father.

Our girls have been friends for over 20 years and we have seen them through ups and downs. Of course the grandkids they gave us are the biggest "ups" of all. We always had some laughs whenever we saw each other and there is no reason for us to think that you won't have heaven laughing too.  May God's peace be with your family.

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name in life we loved you dearly and in death we will do the same . It broke our hearts to lose you but you didnt go alone a great part of us went with you the day God called you home. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again..

I am very sorry to hear of this... I worked at the gardens mall and john brightened my days for the last five years when he'd come in to say hello and check on us... My deepest condolences. Alicia

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Irene

John, I had the opportunity to be your nurse while you were at JMC in the PCU.  You fought this illness valiantly and with dignity as well as your humor.  While the world is a sadder place with your passing, I know heaven is much better off now that you are there.  I send prayers of sympathy and strength for your family.  May God Bless You John.

I will miss my friend and oft-times dinner companion but I suspect you will be sending e mails to angels from now on.  Remember to reserve the other side of a duplex for me, John.

A Few Memories of My Friend John

...meeting him on the LIRR maybe 40 years ago (I've lost track of time)

...watching our kids grow into fine, responsible adults

...going fishing with the kids on party boats out of Point Lookout

...having coffee together at 6 a.m. on a Saturday or a Sunday morning just to enjoy each other's company

...his letting my then teenage son Andy dock his boat in back of the Biltmore Shores house (free of charge) and how John watched it and secured it in stormy weather just as he did his own boat

...he was a client as well as a friend and the professional John and the personal John were equally easy to get along with

...his tremendous pride when he showed me the brand new Corvette he bought after his back surgery.  It only took him a few seconds to get into the driver's seat, but it took me a good 1/2 hour to help get him back out.

If we are lucky, we meet a few people in our lifetime that we can truly call friend.  I am proud to call John one of those few and I will miss him.

Rest in peace, my friend.

Judy and Family, I am so sorry for the loss of John.  Believe me Judy, I know exactly how you feel now.  Be good to yourself and with the blessing of your family, friends and God you will be okay again. John was a wonderful man and I will miss him. I am going to try to be at the funeral home on Friday.

Vicki Celio

John,

Throughout the years I have learned that you are a man who truly enjoyed helping others, who loved spending time with his family and who was full of thoughtfulness and selfless love. I know you will continue to share memories with your family from above, comfortably,  now that you are at peace.  

You will be missed

Dear Judy & Family,

John was a kind, responsible gentleman who loved his job and people.  We at the information booth feel privileged that we got to know John with his great sense of humor and his happy face.  He will be missed by all.
From the ladies at the info booth at the Mall.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

There comes a time in your life that you meet someone who loves life. That was John to me and the entire security team at the Gardens Mall. He was a friend, mentor,a dad to some, and a professional. He will be missed and is loved by all.

We have enjoyed our exchange of e mail since the time we were neighbors on Palm Hammock Lane. We will miss you. Our prayers for you and your family.
      Peggy & OJ Youngberg

You were one of my most valuable friends.  I got you and you me got me.  I am a better person for having known you. Yow were such an integral part of my life.  I know that you will be looking down from heaven watching over your family.  I will pray for Judy, your children and grandchildren.

I loved you John.  

Bob McCarney

Ps. Who am I going to send all my anti-Obama jokes to?

Thank you for your friendship.  I have always enjoyed our conversations and respected your thoughts, you were a true gentleman and will be missed. We will pray for you and your family.

You have been like a second dad to me for over 27 years..

From Jenn and I sneaking you beers to take us out on the boat, to sitting in your backyard eating clams on the half shell with you having a drink and a smoke.. 

All the times you made me laugh until I cried.  You were always there for me when I needed advice on something especially after my dad passed.. 

You are one of kind and I will miss you so much. Your laugh infectious, your smile could light up a room and your sense of humor well anyone who knows you knows what I'm talking about. 

Great man, great family.
 I love you.
