I am fortunate my parents chose John to be my Godfather so many years ago. They couldn't have picked a gentler kinder man to be such an important part of my life.

I will never forget what a great boss John was. Always treating you with respect and kindness. I use to love when he would get mad and scold us and a few days later we were back at it again. He never stayed mad long. Love you John and will miss you and your sense of humor. Maureen

I worked with John at Ann Taylor and there was always a laugh to be had. He wrote a funny good bye speech when I left and I still have it. My prayers to his family

Dear John,
Will never forget the fun we had working for you at G.M.A.C. You were the greatest! Every day was an adventure. And remember all the perfect audits,you were so proud of. That was to your credit. Our years together turned into a wonderful friendship that time or your passing will never erase.
Say Hello to Fran, our other partner in crime. Remember the Chicken? I still have it! I will always love and pray for you.
Love,
Joan

Our deepest sympathy on his passing. We had the greatest privilege of knowing "Uncle Buddy" during his healthy years and his days both in and out of the nursing home. We will miss him terribly as will our pets whom he loved and his hair stylist Bob Napolitano. Be at peace.
