Dear Nancy and Family,
I was so saddened to learn of John's death - shocked is probably more appropriate. I think back on the many years I've known John, which began when we worked at Nyack Hospital, and smile; he was a special person, kind and caring with a great sense of humor.
Please know you and John are in my thoughts and prayers.
With deepest sympathy,

Nancy and family,
We were shocked and saddened by the news of John's death. We so enjoyed all of the trips and adventures he took us on. We would never have experienced camping if it were not for him! His love for life was infectious and we were glad to be a part of it even though it was short-lived.
Working for John was a wonderful experience. He truly gave me my start in Human Resources. . . And I'll always be thankful for that.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Dear Nancy and Family,
Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember the kindness both you and John showed to me throughout the many years I have know you. I will always remember John as a wonderfully caring individual who brought so many smiles into this world, and seemed so truly happy whenever or wherever one encountered him. My fondest memories include the many times we met to go camping and rafting/ canoeing down the Delaware, and of the evenings spent around the camp fires celebrating not only John's birthday, but the happiness of life in general. May God bless you all and help you to get through this time of loss. Sincerely, Cheryl A. Pierce, Michael and Meagan.

Nancy and family, there are no words to express the grief we feel at the loss of John. Be sure that he and all of you will be in our thoughts and prayers. This might not help now but I know John lives on thru his children and grandchildren.
John was the kind of person that is impossible to forget. His jovial nature,his laughter ,his smile will never be forgotten. So happy we had the chance to have dinner together, we had a wonderful time. Nancy next year when we come up u will join us and we will sit and chat, remember the laughter and smiles of that wonderful man, and we will smile
Love You

I was fortunate enough to be John's waitress 3 years ago and through conversation came to find that when he was a little boy he was friends with my Dad.
I feel very happy that my parents were able to reconnect with such an amazing man and of course his beautiful wife Nancy.
I also felt very blessed to have had the pleasure of knowing John.
He was always such a welcoming person. I describe him as the person across the room that you just want to talk to, whether you knew him or not. What a wonderful smile, what a wonderful man (who always gave the best hugs!).
He will be missed by many.
To his loving family, I am so sorry for this incredible loss.

Nancy, Jeanette, Billy, and Hadley Family:
I was very saddened to hear the news from Mom. John was a very funloving, outgoing person who helped Mom and I through some very difficult times in our lives. I will always remember the parties in Goshen, the hot tub with the girls and the dogs, and the West Point football games. I'm very sorry that I cannot make it for the services, but please know that you are all in my prayers and on my mind. John was very loved and will be missed dearly.
John: Thank you for being you and always making me feel like I was #1.

Nancy,Janine,Bill,Brendal:
My heart aches for you and the loss of this most special man..husband, father, friend, boss. He enjoyed life, people, laughing, but he loved his family..his very best friend-Nancy, his great children, and oh how he loved those grand-daughters. I know this whole situation doesn't even feel real and that you are all operating on automatic pilot...but, find strength in the love that is tucked into all these notes from people, like myself, who feel we had the privledge of sharing a piece of this most special man. Love, Marsha

Dear Nancy and family
So deeply, deeply sorry. I have thought of John so often enjoying those beautiful colors and wonderful winters and wondered whom was he now sending into fits of laughter. One of my best memories of John is some years ago (John was still at Nyack) about twenty of us were at a NorMet member's retirement dinner somewhere in Westchester. Buckets of tears from laughing, all caused by John, resulted in a table of total strangers sending all of us a round of drinks in appreciation of John's wonderful wit and sense of humor.
Dear John, may you rest in peace. You will be missed. Kathy Celentano
