So deeply sorry and surprised about John's passing. I read his brief comments on Reichert's guest book only to find out that John had also passed the next day. Skip was a friend of my younger brother Dana. We all attended both St.Raphael and Holy Cross and lived in the same neighborhood. I hired Skip at Banner Chevrolet and we became better friends. I enjoyed our conversations, usually about the good old days, diving, fishing, football, and race horses. I pray that the Joly extended family and friends finds peace in knowing that he is in God's house singing bass, naturally.
God Bless,

I can't tell you how much my heart hurts at your loss. I'll never forget how kind and supportive you and John were to me when I needed it a few years ago. I wish there were some words that would help you, but all I can say is I'm praying for you. Love you much

It was always a pleasure to be in his company. My condolences and prayers to Lennai and the rest of his family. John and I were classmates at Holy Cross and stayed in touch, as most brothers do. Rest In Peace, John.

To John's Family. Kathy and Leonard Andrescavage grieve along with you. John was one of my first saturation diving teams back in 1974. Over the years we became good friends. I was so glad that John was also interested in early rock & roll and blues music. I miss you already.
