Not sure what to say?

John Applegate was my dear friend for seventy-six years. We played together we worked together and fished together and in all that time I realized we never had a serious disagreement. We watched the Eagles win the playoffs, but he never saw them win the Super Bowl. John was a great husband and good friend to many. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Rest in Peace my brother, Rest in peace!

I'm so sorry to hear about John. I was on the ACHS swim team with him. He was a couple of years ahead of me and I always looked up to him. He was a good guy to me. R.I.P.

So sorry for your loss, a sad day for all.

John Applegate was my idol as a swimmer in ACHS. He was the breaststroke champ. I was in the Boy Scouts with John and Dave Vanderhoff in the Inlet Social Club, Troop 9

I always admired John because he did the things he loved to do . He loved fishing and he made his living by netting for fish along the beach. He caught shad,weakfish,blues and strippers with a small boat with an outboard. His whole family was involved. in fishing out of Atlantic city. He be missed by many who new him. Rest in peace my friend.

Met John in OCNJ as he was a customer of ours after we opened our seafood market Enjoyed talking with him about fishing & all things fishy Always great to see him & he will be missed I´m sure ( John loved his scallops! ) RIP John
