John we know you are watching over Jim in South Lake Tahoe, CA as he prepares to open the new Primos here. We only knew you a sort while but you touched our lives in a way we will never forget. I'm sure we will feel your spirit all around Jim in his new endeavors....Primos lives on!! You would be so very proud of Jim. His energy and smile remind us so much of you. Thank you! We can't wait for the grand opening!

This is for you John....
The summer wind, came blowin' in from across the sea
It lingered there to touch your hair and walk with me
All summer long we sang a song and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts and the summer wind
Like painted kites, those days and nights, they went flyin' by
The world was new beneath a blue umbrella sky
Then softer than a piper man one day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind
The autumn wind and the winter winds, they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days, they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind
The summer wind
Warm summer wind
Mmm, the summer wind
I Miss you.....
Love, your buddy
Johnny

Every step we take, every move we make, every time we pray
we are missing you....
Thinkin of the day, when you went away.... What a life to take, what a bond to break....we're missing you.
It's kinda hard with you not around
Know your in heaven smilin down
Watchin us while we pray for you
Every day we pray for you....
Wish we coul turn back the hands of time.
Life wouldn’t have been the same without you and all the memories you have givin me.
How lucky I was to have known and love someone like you.
Till the day we meet again ....

Happy Father's Day in Heaven
To a very special person... John J. Primo. John was a real character! Everyone that knew him loved him. He just had a way about him that was endearing. I loved him dearly! I miss him even more. Everyone could always depend on John. No matter what — he was our hero ... A Great Dad, Grandpa, Brother, Son, Uncle and Friend ... there to rescue the people he loved. There was never something that he could not solve or at the least, make better for us! He always knew the right answers to everything and anything! He always had the solution — or the gadget for all.
Forever in our Hearts....

“A Treasured Friend....”
One month ago today...I losted my Best Friend John J. Primo aka (Harry) He will always be a Part of my life....He will live on though all of us...His Children Jay and Jill who he adored...his grandchilden who he loved being their Thursday Grandpa...His Brother Anthony who he Admired and his many nephew's and neices and his special sisternlaw Sandra who he was so loving too. And his Many many friends who he shared a cup a tea or can of Pepsi with. He will be missed but he will Never Be forgotten...We hold him Dearly in our hearts forever!
There are many blessings in this world, that I am thankful for.
One of these blessings is my best friend.
John, you were more then just a blessing, you were a part of my life.
My son Johnny, my brother Ray and my twin brother “ jimmy boy” as u would call him, were blessed with your presence and all that you shared with us.
The older we became, the more we realized we were much more then just friends. We were family.
We shared a very close bond. A sharing instilled in us - a kind of caring that words can’t describe.
I looked to you for advice and you shared your wisdom. If ever I was in need, you welcomed me with open arms and such generosity.
So many times you were the answer to a prayer, that I barely got a chance to say.
I want you to know that my world was reassured by you and your love.
My tomorrows will surly miss you, but there are many smiles of memories I hold dear to you.
John you will always be with me in my thoughts, in my prayers and in my heart.
I love you,
Phyllis

We have known John (and Jimmy) for many years and often went to Primo's in Woburn for dinner where John or Jim would come and sit with us. John was such a great guy and a lot of fun. He will be missed by us and many of the old timers at WHYC.
