John Aquilla Jr.

Dear Johnny,

I want to thank you for all your love and laughter during our years growing up. I remember you ice skating on the kitchen floor wearing that really long night cap - you really were quite the (ice skating)dancer! Thank you for buying us (Robert, Bernie and I) our first boat which gave us our passion for boating. I can still remember the day when Jaclyn was born and you held her with such delight. I have such great memories of fun times we had as kids and adults. ...

It is with deepest sympathy that this entry is placed..John was my brother-in-law and due to circumstances beyond my control I was unable to get to Ohio for the service.I knew John as a kind and fair minded person,a good son and brother to my wife and his siblings.We saw him last in October and he appeared happy and well,I hope that he is at peace and will find comfort in his final rest.He is missed by all of us.
Thank you

I am very saddened. I worked with John at Northpak in the early 1990's. He was a great person that sincerely cared about everyone. He brought so much good to everything he did. John and his family will remain in my prayers for ever.

May God keep the members of John's family at this great time of loss. I worked with John years ago at Southcorp Packaging, what a GREAT person to be around. You have my deepest sympathy.

I can't express enough the sympathy I feel for Marylou and all family members. This is a tragic loss for all concerned. I saw John as consertively outgoing, loving, and just a very sincere nice person. One of the greatest compliments to be paid to him is, he made everyone feel comfortable to be around him.

May he find joy and peace with our Lord.

John was a wonderful unique man. One of the true gentlemen left. Not only a "gentleman", but a gentle man. John had great integrity as anyone who ever worked with him knew. I always was grateful that I considered him a friend even though we hadn't seen each other in years.

Offering our deepest sympathies during this time.
