When I learned that John had passed on and was also a firefighter I contacted my father (Clyde) and learned that they served together on the department. I also learned that their fathers also worked together for the Arlington Fire Department. Growing up in a firefighters family I learned about the ultimate sacrifice that firefighters are called upon to be ready to make each day. When every one is running out of a burning building; they are running in.
My father spoke of John fondly and I know that he thinks of all the men he served with...Brave men all! God speed, John.

Granpa,
I will always remember talking to you about school in the kitchen while you made your famous salads. I always loved watching the sox games with you and enjoying your company. What I loved more than anything was listening to the stories you told us from when my dad was younger. I love you and I will never forget you.

Carolyn,
At a time like this, when my words seem so inadequate, I share with you words from my favorite book, a book that contains many words of promise and comfort. Jesus said in John 14:26 & 27 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
I have prayed for you often and continue to now.

Dear Carolyn and Family,
I was saddened when I heard of your father's passing. I have fond memories of the softball games on Claremont Avenue and your dad using a pet name for you, “Charlie”. I remember a line up of girls singing “We are family. I got all my sisters in me”. I remember your dad wielding the spatula during those wonderful family cookouts, a welcoming contagious smile, and genuine gratitude for having so many beautiful children. There are no words that can adequately express how much he will be missed. My heart goes out to you during this difficult time.
Love, Michelle (Root)

To Barbara and the Mahoney Family!
The shocking news of the passing of Jocko has reached me. He was a Good Man, Coastie, Fireman and Personal Friend. His Death Grieves me un-expressible. It is with a full heart that I offer you my Deepest Sympathy. We have lost a true Veteran and Friend but I believe that he is in good hands now and he will be looking over us. He has embarked on his final Voyage, the Supreme Admiral of the Universe has called our friend to sail with him in eternally calm seas, forever free from storms of mortal life.
