It is with fond memories and gratefulness this message is being sent. John mentored my husband Rick Noyes As a boy all thru his plumbing apprenticeship and was a major factor in the life and success we live today.
John's passing is a loss for all of us-

R.I.P. Thank you for all the great memories from being a kid to growing up with your family and mine. From jumping in a pool on Route 1 with all your clothes on to the numerous 4th of July pool parties on Lakeshore Road.
