Not sure what to say?

We were so sad to learn of John's death. We had just spoken about him a few days ago so decided to look him up on the internet and discovered his obituary. We have so many happy memories of John and Gerry, our Mystic boating friends that we kept in touch with throughout the years, only to lose touch after Gerry's death. Our hearts go out to John and Kris and their families. Know that your parents will always have a cherished place in our hearts and memories.

I knew John in the early 70’s. Gerry and John lived across from us on Ridgecrest. My favorite memories of him: 1: One day (15 years old), I had the Beatles song “A day in a Life” way to loud. I played it multiple times. It was so loud that John walked across the street and turned down the volume on my parents record player. He then walked back to his house. 2nd - Gerry and John went to our wedding (Sunapee NH) in 1980. My parents moved from Ridgecrest in 1975 so it was great that they...

I grew up with John as I lived on Howard Ave. His back yard was always a place to go and be with the kids in the neighborhood. We had great fun together and freedom to explore which children don't have today. I mentioned recetnly in a post that we would go sliding down the edge of the sand pit in his back yard. Oh my to think of it today. Both Greg and John were special friends. I am so sorry for your loss. Hold your memories tight. Most sincerely, Gem Guite Marston.

John was a very nice man I remember when my Mom worked for him at ct plastics my condolences to his family

I extend my condolences to John's family and his brother Greg.
