Judy, I´m so sorry to hear of John´s passing. He always made my day when he came to in to talk to me at work. We´d always talk about golf and show pictures of recent trips and my puppy :) he was truly the best, and I will miss him dearly. Thinking and praying for you Judy and your family. Stephanie Cloutier

I knew John through my role as a volunteer door person at the Parlor Room in Northampton. He loved live music and it was always a pleasure to chat with him before and after shows. He was a wonderful guy.

I loved talking baseball and music with Mr Bodnar. We had that in common and we took in some of my son Andrew's games at EL High together. He was so enthusiastic and always had a kind word to say. Except if you were wearing a Yankee hat! Our whole family will miss him!

Judy, Marilyn, Russell and family, I was very saddened to read of John's death. I have such wonderful memories of John and the gang on Park Street. Also, John worked at Naumkeag one summer as I did. He would sneak into town to get me a soda or a candy bar. Wishing you comfort from a life time of memories. Judy (Wood) Sullivan
