To all of John's Family...We were so saddend to learn of John's passing. Steve met John at the Holiday Inn in Saddle Brook over 20
years ago, and fondly remembers John. I met John about 10 years ago. The band of friends from the Inn were more like a club and shared many good times. John inspired me to get my first tattoo, small compared to his works of art. Please know John will always remain in our hearts and memories.

Sadly, with a tear in our eyes, we remember him.

With our deepest sympathy,

Steven Spiwak and Carol Stever
