Sean and Tricia

My sincere condolences at this tough time for all of you. My prayers will be with you throughout this time. Unfortunately, The funeral home , which I manage, has a wake and funeral for the exact same time as yours which prevents me from attending. God is good and will sustain you. Remember all the good times with your father as he would only want that for you and the family.

love

John was an amazing boss and such a caring man. I always called him my second Dad, always there for me and checking up on me. He was always singing a song or making a joke. He brought so much joy and laughter to both my life and all of my coworkers' lives on a daily basis.
He will be missed and my condolences goes out to his family. Though I don't know you personally, he talked about you often with such love, I feel I do.
