We knew John through Annette. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. A major John Wayne fan and an inspiration to all who knew him. He was an inspiration to our son, Rob, in law enforcement and remained a mentor and friend. He now joins his beloved, Annette, to be together forever in heaven . Thank you, John, for a life well lived and a job well done. End of watch.

John,
You were a great friend. Our time at the prosecutor’s office will never be forgotten.

Daddy, I miss you so much. You were my hero — the one who showed me what love, strength, and kindness really mean. You gave me the best childhood I could have ever asked for, filled with laughter, lessons, and love that will stay with me forever.
I hope you know how deeply I love you and how grateful I am to be your daughter. You’ll always be with me, in everything I do and every good part of who I am.
I love you, Daddy, Always and Forever

Love, Mugsy

Graduated Vailsburg High with John in 1972. There are only a few noteworthy people in that class and one of them was John Pariso. When he was around, you could not keep a straight face. He was one of a kind! God bless you John.

I loved you Soooo much!!!! You truly were the BEST! Hug Annette for us my friend!

This man was one of a kind!! He was more than a neighbor, he was a friend and brother officer. He always had a joke to share, was very entertaining to my sons and always, alway had Annette shaking her head and laughing when we would stop to talk. He will be missed and may he rest in peace.

John and I were Police Cadets together in Newark, back in the early 70's. Then we became Newark cops and were assigned to different commands. I'd run into John here and there, usually at the courthouse. It was always a pleasure because of his pleasant disposition and cheerful attitude. Recently I'd been thinking of reconnecting with him, since I started seeing him on Facebook. Goes to show, if you have any long-lost friends you want to call, don't wait.
