So sorry for your loss.

Our Prayers are with you and your family.

I work at the Trumbull YMCA and would see John (pre pandemic) when he came to yoga. He was always smiling, and so pleasant. I know I speak for all the staff at the Y in saying we will miss him very much. John's family is my thoughts and prayers.

Patty, John (Bud), and Jenna,
Words cannot begin to express how so very sorry we were to hear about John`s passing. He was a wonderful man - kind, caring, smart, gentle, and fun to be with - and he loved you three and his grandchildren so much! I am heartbroken to think that his life and time with all of us, and of course especially you all and the rest of the family, was cut so short I first met John and Patty back in 1978 - hard to believe it´s been 42 years that we have been friends! Our children grew up together, we took many fabulous vacations together, and I have wonderful memories of our monthly get togethers as well. You are all in our thoughts and prayers - I cannot begin to imagine what you all are going through right now. But please know that we are thinking of you, praying for you, and sending lots of hugs, love, and deepest sympathy.
