Dear Michelle and family,
I wish to express my loving and supportive condolences to all of you.
Michelle, I love you and send to you my warmest thoughts, strength and hope that this note finds you in peace and wrapped in the love of your family. Having lost my parents in car accident 10 years ago I know anguish of losing a parent/s. I also know that for me … it is a great comfort to know that my beliefs ensured me that I would see them again one day. It is also a great comfort to know that I am the seed of my parents and they instilled in me countless attributes. Attributes that guide me, polish me and frame me. Attributes that have formed my character. For that… I am so grateful. If there be any good in me… it came from them. Their guidance, love, humor, and strength.
I pray you and your family will be carried by love, strengthen in peace and that you will all be ever present to honor of having had such an incredible man in all your lives.
Warmly,
Lauri Medeiros

Dear Aunt Mary and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of Uncle John's passing. It has truly been a long and difficult road for all of you. The last time we saw him was at Uncle Toms wake and he looked so fantastic, all dressed up and daper as ever. That is how I will remember him, a very gentle and loving man, a wonderful husband, father, uncle, friend and mentor.
He will be greatly missed. All of our love to all of you.
Love, Mary Lee, Peter, Matt, Erin & PJ Shaw

Dear Judi and family,
You have my sincerest sympathy for the loss of your Dad. I know he'd been ill for some time and that his release from suffering is a blessing, but it's still a painful time for all of you. Know that he's in a better place now, and that you are surrounded by love.
BEST,
Allison & Ray

Dear Aunt Mary and family, Our hearts, prayers and thoughts are with you all and John as well.
John was more than an Uncle to me. He was a mentor, a friend, a confidant and at a time when I was most vunerable to go down a dangerous path he was there gently guiding me down a safer path. I to this day still use some of his motivational sayings "a salesman should sell everything in his bag to anyone who can use it" " as a salesman pretend you are wearing a raincoat and all the "stuff" they throw at you will slide off" are my favorites. "Allways remember the secretary is the key to inner sanctum, treat her with respect and she will have you meeting the boss before the competition gets the boss's name"
I used to tell him that that he had forgotten more than I would ever learn.
He will be missed but he will never be forgotten.
With all our love and sympathy.
Peter Colgan and family

One heck of a guy, that Uncle John. The only family member who called me Joey all through my life. You all know how fortunate you were to have such a gentle and committed dad and husband. Look forward to reaquainting and celebrating the life of one of God's finest with you Friday.

Dear Mary and family:
I was so sorry to read of John’s death. I did not know him, but I do know he was among the luckiest of men. He had you as his family, and it is unlikely anyone has ever been more blessed.
Life has a great many ups and downs, which we all must endure. He must have known love, patience, kindness and laughter, more than many men are privileged to know. He had to have known many “ups.”
May you be well,

John Paradis was not just my uncle; John was my firsr mentor and teacher in the construction industry. John taught me what hard work can produce. When I first went out on the road as a Jr. salesman I traveled with John. When we made a sales call John was always receiced with respect and seen even with an appointment. I learned the reason for this respect was Johns commitment to the customer and vast knowledge of masonry and conctete specs and construction practices. I learned from John there are two types of salesmen the order takers and the salesman that becomes a valuable asset because of his knowledge. John was one of the very best as person and a professional. John taught me many things by example, family first, knowledgable professional, to respect everyone I come in contact with. These things I have learned from John have enriched both my personal and professional life. Paul, Kathy and Leo give our deepest sympathies and love to my aunt Mary and my cousins.
