Kelly, Mandy, Mike, Makayla and myself celebrated your birthday yesterday.  We went to one of your favorite restaurants, Jeff Ruby’s.  We laughed and shared some of our favorite memories of you.  Even Makayla talked about you telling her to “wash your hands, you filthy animal”!  It was nice to sit, relax, enjoy a great meal and reminisce about some of our favorite moments with you.  We all miss you very much and even though you weren’t there beside us, talking about you keeps you close to our hearts.  I love you John, you are always in my heart. Jennifer ❌❌⭕️⭕️

Christmas has come and gone and a new year has started.  Nothing felt right without you here to celebrate.  There were no traditions that we had as a couple to celebrate on Christmas or New Years.  No special person to shop for and try to keep the gift a secret from.   No extraordinary gift from you to open.  No finding the perfect movie to watch on New Years Eve.  
My heart aches and I am so sad without you.  Everything and every place is a sad reminder that you are not here.  I love you John always and forever.   Jennifer

Happy Father's Day to the very best Dad and Grandpa in the world. You’re greatly missed and loved. Thank you for everything you’ve done for our family. It’s truly appreciated. I miss you so very much. There’s a hole in my heart. But I know that you are watching and protecting our family from Heaven. All my love always.

My heart aches. 
I feel so alone. 
No one knows how bad it hurts now that you’re gone. 
There’s an emptiness inside me. 
A hole in my heart. 
I miss you so much, don’t know what to do. I still can’t believe that God took you. 
I can’t believe God took you 
and we now have to part.
There’s this loneliness inside me from this hole in my heart. 
You will forever and always be my Dad. 
My heart just aches for you and I feel so sad.
It’s 2024, June seven and we all know that you’re watching us from heaven.

In the construction industry there are very few people who ask you “how are you doing”. John did, and he genuinely cared if you were doing all right. If you weren’t doing well, John would want to help in any way he could. 
John was generous, empathetic, caring, hardworking, smart, his sense of humor was awesome, and he was the best businessman that I have ever met. I could honestly list 10 more positive adjectives to describe him. 
I miss him already, and I am saddened for the loss that his family, friends and his employees are dealing with.

To the Austin Family,
My sincere condolences to your family.  
I was very saddened to hear about John's passing when I returned from vacation. I have worked with John for many years as his Sales rep at Northeast Industrial Manufacturing, Greenville PA.   John was a great person to work with.  I will miss our email exchanges and phone conversations about his roll off container needs.

John was a great friend, and I will miss him and our philosophical discussions. I pray the good lord will assuage the anguish of your lose and leave you with the happy memories of life.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family and those closest to John.  He was one of our first customers many years ago when he built his home.  We had kept in contact through routine seasonal services and he was always so kind to us.  I know he will be greatly missed.

Uncle John (Edamame), 
I love you. I still can't believe you're gone. You always gave me good advice, financially and personally and told me how proud you were of me. Even though we butted heads sometimes, we always worked it out together. Things will never be the same without you. I will miss all the jokes, stories and jabs we shared, spending time with you and Auntie trying new restaurants and making plans for special occasions. You will be missed by all of us and we will carry your memory with us forever. Until we meet again.
Love,
Kelly (aka Kale)

I spoke with John every week for the last several years and, even though our relationship was mostly work-based, he made everything warm and personal.  I know of no other president of a company who had me call his personal number to conduct day-to-day business.  But that was John.  He is irreplaceable and will be missed by many.  I am so sorry he is gone.

RIP brother. You were a great friend. I'll miss you.

Dear Jennifer and Family , 

John was always so kind , such a great friend and mentor 

We All appreciate the wonderful examples he set for All of us as a husband , father , friend , inspiring business man on the company he built with You that gives such awesome service and value to so many 

Our 🙏 are with You daily 💕 ☮️

My condolences to John's family, friends and colleagues.  He will be missed.  Sarah Palmer, DRP Services, LLC.

John will truly be missed, he was an inspiration to all who knew him. I will miss him and our conversations, he was one of the most intelligent and inspiring person that I've had the pleasure of knowing. John will definitely be missed...

Uncle J I am going to miss you something terrible. I still cannot grasp that you are gone. You were so much more than an uncle to me. You were a father figure, my financial advisor, my comedic relief (Lord knows I got my smartelic mouth from you), and the one that I could turn to for anything. I am going to miss all of your sarcastic jokes and your personal jokes that only me and you knew about. What I would do right now to get a good cussing from you, be called snaggles, you know that loving  nickname you gave me when I was a kid,, or for you to tell me one last time “ Angela, you know that I am the smartest man that you will ever talk to”…I love you Uncle J

I am deeply sorry to hear about your loss. He was a wonderful person and a great friend. I will always remember him and will never ever forget him.
