I went to high school with John Bovello at Cathedral Latin. He was a good guy. Very kind, no attitude, which was pretty rare in that place. Ran into him a couple years after graduation. Still a really nice, unaffected guy. Fair Winds, John.

Dear Bovello Family, I was shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of my cousin, John. To me, John was a jovial, engaging, and unassuming man, who loved and cherished his family. I have very fond memories of him while growing into adulthood that I will cherish for the remainder of my life here and beyond. I look forward to seeing him again on the "other side"! Please know, my Bovello cousins, that each and every one of you are in my prayers as you remember your vibrant brother. Your family has always been a precious and important part of my life, and this continues to be true even in geographical distance. Warm hugs and love to all of you in this time of joy and sadness.

John was always a special cousin in my family. He always had a smile on his face and I loved all the hugs he gave me when I saw him at the store or at our family gatherings. He now is with Jesus and all of the Bovello and DiPrima families. John and my prayers are with him and with all of his family. We will miss him.
