John was a dear friend of my brother Alexander Caffery and I during the 1970s when John lived in New Orleans. As I recall he was initially part-owner with my brother of Compagno's Restaurant uptown, and later he owned Cooter Brown's at corner of Carrollton and St. Charles Avenues. During this time he flew helicopters for an oil-service company, and even once landed his helicopter in our rather large front yard at our residence at 9-Mile Point near the Huey Long Bridge. I can still remember...

I sure do miss your smile

Dear Mrs. Bean, Angela, Rachal, and
Leslie,

I hope you remember me from high school. It has been years since I have seen you all. My brother just called me about the news and I went numb. My thoughts and prayers are with you and well as many amazing memories I have of your family. John was the greatest dad and wife and I know you will all miss him. I know you have many great memories to hold onto. May God Bless each of you!!!

With much love, Karen

Janet and Family: Since I left S'port you have no idea how many times I have talked about you and John and Herby-K's.

Mr. Bean, Ginny, Janet and family,
My heart goes out to you. I have wonderful memories of Johnny and so do my sons. They especially remember a helicopter ride he took them on when they were young and Larry and I spent some of our vacation time with him. He was a good friend and I loved him so. I am so thankful I saw him at the class reunion. My prayers are with you. Love, Linda, Timmy, Terry, and Todd Gordy
