Jan and Family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Your dad was such a wonderful man. I can remember him picking us up and taking us to the mall when we were kids. Wow, that seems like a lifetime ago!! Jan, I am always here for you, if you need an ear, a shoulder or just to cry about past memories. Sometimes a good cry is the best medicine. I Love you. Good Bless you and your family in this time of need.

Dear Aunt Kay:
I am so sorry to learn of John's passing. Although I have not seen you very much over the years, Dick kept me informed on your travels and adventures. John was a wonderful husband and a best friend. I remember --- all those years ago --- my parents took me to New Jersey to visit Andi in the hospital. It was there that I met John for the first time. I remember asking him, "John, do you have any children of your own?", and he replied, "You mean, -- BESIDES ANDI?.. yes, I do." That brief conversation has always come to my mind every time I think about you and John. His love for you, Andi and Dick was always completely apparent. God has blessed you, Aunt Kay, with wonderful times and happy memories of a very special man.

Kay and Family - It was such a pleasure to work with John all these years. A quiet gentle man who shared lots of tears and laughter with us in our Village VII office. I am grateful that our paths in life have crossed. Hope he knew how grateful I always was for all his help. We will so miss him and his smile. God Bless John and God Bless all of you as your hearts heal during this difficult time.

Although I haven't seen John in many years, I've known him a very long time. He was one of the first people I met when I moved to North Brunswick in the 70's. I remember him as a kind and compassionate man and always the gentleman. Jan, in time the pain will pass and you'll remember only the good. God bless you all. Linda Massa

John was a special friend. He encouraged me to run to become a member of the NJ Eastern Star Home. I sat on the Board with him, and he was a great asset to our Order. I will truly miss him. My deepest sympathy to Kay and John's family. Ruth Ann Hoyt
