I knew John, Back 30 something years ago as a member of the Pioneeer Valley Radio Control Club. I remember him showing me his twin engine cessna airplane in his house, and his Mr. Mulligan 60 sized R/C Plane. He showed me the way of flying Radio Control Planes. He was A Great Guy, and Very unselfish person. I'll will definately miss him,even though we haven't seen each other; to me he's still here in spirit. My God Bless his entire family,and my thoughts, and prayers are with you! Sincerely yours Paul A Dziewit TVRCC Member

Joan and family: Very sorry to hear about your loss of John. I worked with him for years at Sarat Ford. Not a day went by without him making me laugh or teasing me about his boating with his wife. Always talked about his kids. A good man, big heart.
Rest in Peace, Frap.

Joan and children, I am sorry to know that John has passed away! While growing up in Westfield, I had the opportunity to know John while at school. He was always so much fun, full of laughter that was infectious to those around him. May the sorrow you feel today, soon turn to wonderful memories of John and your lives together. May God Bless You John!

Christopher and family. I am so very sorry for your loss and hope that being together at this time you will be able to gather strength from each other. Death of a parent is hard because you tend to dwell on the what ifs and not the we did. just remember there are people all around you who want to lend an ear to hear of the fun times you had, so share them everywhere you can and keep his memory alive

Dad, I just wanted to say I love you with all my heart! When I first met you over 25 years ago, I wasn't sure if we could ever connect. Then here we are 25 years later and I couldn't have made a better choice in my life then to have met you and I am thankful that I had the pleasure of meeting such an incredible man! But over the last 6 months I think it topped it all off, the week you and I spent together was the best! I will never forget your ,your laugh, your sarcasm comments.. Lol, the boat rides, ice fishing, the 360 you did in the white truck the first time you came and picked me up from my house I know your in a better place now, and I am happy for you!! You are the great dad a son could ask for!! I love you now and always, your son, Christopher John Frappier!
