My name is Tim Lawson, I was John's boss at Radio Shack in Wilton. I'm so glad I found this page because John was the most loyal, kind, honest, and hard-working guy I had there. I was crushed to hear he had passed, but I know he went straight up to Heaven. I was the guy who pushed and pushed him to be a manager there at Radio Shack. He just needed to know some one believed in him. I always did. He was humble funny as hell and a great co worker. I miss you John you made a difference in my life and I'm sure many others. Until we meet again, cheers to you!!

Dear Deeley Family,
I went into Radio Shack and was told of John's passing. I am so sad. John was wonderful in helping me purchase phones for my children. He walked me through the setup and all the glitches associated with first time phones. During my first purchase, John worked with me for 3 hours!
He was fun to talk with and was kind to all people who visited the store.
He was way too young.

My family and I are so sad to learn this!! My sisters, our Mom and I worked at our brothers store in the Rainbow Plaza in Norwalk, while John, Brian and Rebecca had New Haven Pizza. It surprises me how much work we all got done, because we really seemed to all spend a lot of time together! I used to cut all thier hair in our back room!! I think of you guys often, and this was very sad news to hear. I'm so very sorry. You're all in my prayers and thoughts..and I'm sending lots of love and peace your way. ❤ with love, George

I knew John from New Haven Pizza in Norwalk. We shared space in Rainbow Plaza, I was from The Engraving Store. My brother Steve, my sister George and I would talk with John, Brian and Rebecca about our large families, our family businesses and our Mothers Thanksgiving stuffing among other things. I was saddened when I read of John's death this morning. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Cathi
