To the family, I worked with John when I was an intern and employee for State Street Bank. During that time I was married and John graciously printed my beautiful wedding invitations. I didn't know him well, but knew he appreciated life and enjoyed it to the fullest. I was sad to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Connie, Jeff and Ryan,

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your husband and Dad.

I worked with John at United Lithograph in Somerville after the sale of Fairview.

John was a very good friend to me as I was a young man starting in the printing industry. He helped me many times with problem jobs and talked me through them and often showed me how to haldle problems so the clients would be happy.

He will be remembered by me for this, as well as for his love of printing, the Red Sox and Patriots.

With deepest sympathies,

Matt Brogna
