Dear Lisa,
My family and I just found out about John's passing. Words are not enough to describe the sadness, sorrow and heartache. Everyone has said it, we will never forget his smile. John is loved and will be truly missed. I will never forget the memories. I haven't seen you since our reunion, but I remember running into John afterwards giving me a big hug. I've sent cards every Christmas and hope you've received them. Please, should you need anything, let me know. God Bless John, you, the kids and your families at this very sad time. With tender love and care. Debbie Gardin-Garofano and family.

Lisa,
I will always remember what a great smile John had. Being your neighbor for fifteen years, I was lucky enough to see John, you and the kids daily. My Mom and my brothers and I adored him..especially my Mom. She spent the last 2 years of her life being entertained by you guys. She would always be watching everything Johnny did when he was outside..which was constantly. He was so kind to her and my brothers and I will always remember him for being such a wonderful and kind gentleman.

My deepest sympathy goes out to all of the family of John. John was an Everett carrier at the IMC when I knew him. He was always pleasant, friendly, courteous and respectful. I always thought to myself,"what a nice guy." He will be dearly missed. May you find peace in his memory.

John,
I am can't believe I am writing this right now. I remember the first day you came to the Hamilton School (which I will never ever forget ) . The both of us were the new kids to Everett. I will never forget the days down the park Halloween, basketball we couldn't be beat. I am in such shock I can't even write this, or maybe I don't want to believe this . My family sends there prayers and thoughts to Lisa and your family. Lisa stay strong as I know you will
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A MEMBER OF THE 4B'S
