How is it that it’s been almost 7 years? I go through our old neighborhood every now and again. I think about all the fun times we had as kids and remember all those long talks. I still miss you my friend. I always will. ❤

I think there is a special bond with the friends you make early in life. I, too, went to school with John from Highland all the way through Taconic High. I was so sad to hear that he has passed away - far too young. I am happy to read that he has a wonderful family, so fitting for such a wonderful person, genuinely kind, with a smile that no one who knew him will ever forget. RIP John.

So sorry for your loss. I knew John from Highland School up through Taconic High. I recall he was funny and always smiling. Although I had not seen him in over 32 years, I was very saddened by the news. I have you all in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

This was quite a shock to my Husband and I. We both went to Taconic with John and I will never forget that smile he had. My thoughts are with all of you during this time. I know words can never be enough during times like this. John will forever find good weather to ride his Harley and I bet he is hanging out with my Brother Richard who passed away in "97" who also knew him at Taconic.

There are just no words to tell you how sorry I am. John and I were friends since we were little kids, growing up a few houses away from eachother. I have many memories of our childhood and our friendship. He will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathies to his wife Tena and John's whole family. I am just so very sorry for your loss. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
