Johnnie, Thinking of you today and every other day.
People say it gets easier. No way.
I talk to you and ask for your advice all the time. Especially when I'm in a hardware store.
I always seem to make the correct decision and walk out with a smile on my face looking up to the sky and say thanks to both you and God.
I hope you are doing ok.
Love you,
"Patsy"

Our friend and we are invited abroad on a party of pleasure, which is to last forever. His chair was first ready and he is gone before us. We could not all conveniently start together; and why should you and I be grieved at this, since we are soon to follow, and we know where to find him.
-Benjamin Franklin
You have been in my thoughts and prayers.

It is almost impossible to find the words to express what John Rooney meant to me. He was friend and family. I loved him dearly and he knew it. I thank God he was in my life. The world is a better place, because of John. Rest in peace dear friend.

We are saddened to read of John's passing. John and I, along with Bill Ryder, spent many Saturdays and week nights serving on the Board of Assessors of Wayland. It was fun and John made it happen that way. Thank you, John, for those early days of doing our thing for the Town.

I have the fondest memories of Mr. Rooney. He was very proud of his family and all they had accomplished. He was always kind in offering up advice to me about life and parenting. I always looked forward to seeing him at family events and will miss him.

John was the best. A great person, a great mentor, and a great coach, not only to the many hockey players he touched over the years, but to everyone that knew him. He will be dearly missed. A GREAT MAN!

Uncle John was a good man, I'll remember his smile and his love of sports. Growing up , he always had time for us, throw a football around tell a story or listen to what we had to say. He loved his family and he loved his wife, my Aunt Jean and will be missed by all who knew him. My heart goes out to you.
