I worked with John at ComElectric in Wareham for many years but had not seen him for several years. I saw the notice yesterday in the Northeastern University Alumni magazine. I am so very sorry to hear of his passing- he was far too young . John taught my husband and me how to sail in Mattapoisett Harbor- he was very patient! God bless his children and grandchildren.

Dear Helen: John's passing has been impossible to believe. He surely was a man that will be remembered for his kind mannerism and his generosity & willingness to help anyone & everyone. He showed daily, his immeasureable love for his family and friends, but most of all, for his love and devotion to you Helen. May you find strength in your wonderful memories of him. Know too, that you have friends that love and care for you deeply, and are at your disposal during these difficult times. God Bless You.
