Aline,

Although I just met John in early August, I quickly knew that he was a wonderful person. John worked for me for several months. He was a great worker and everyone on my team enjoyed working with him. He quickly built relationships with the customers he supported in our Boston offices. I am saddened by the news, but am grateful that I had the opportunity to meet John. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!

Dear Aline, Sean, Coleen and Brian

May God bless you all during this difficult time. For the short time that I knew John I learned quickly how great of a person he was. He always made me laugh when I would talk with him. He will be greatly missed. I am honored that I had the opportunity to meet him.

Dear Aline,

God Bless you and the children! You are all in my prayers. I had the pleasure of working with John over the last couple of months he was a great guy with a great sense of humor, always positive about everything! He advised me about growing orchids that he loved so much. He will be missed. I pray that you will trust in God as he walks with you in this most difficult time and know that John is at peace with Him.

God Bless!

May it also be noted that John was originally from East Boston and Winthrop, Ma. We attended St Mary School through 1978.
John has been my closest friend since Kindergarten (almost 40 yrs) and I will miss him dearly. I'll miss his unique wit most of all.
Love and condolences to Aline and the kids.

Aline,
I had the privilege of working with your husband for a short time. Over that time I got to laugh and joke with John, and will miss that a lot. He and I had very similar personalities and would often joke in the same manner which was a nice feeling to know that there is someone out there with the same unique sense of humor. He will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family. I only knew John for a few months. He was a valuable member of our team. He was a class guy who I love to talk and work with. He always talked about his family and enjoying life outdoors, especially fishing. I will miss him.
