John was a super friend

My deepest, heartfelt condolences to the Cali family. I enjoyed living next to them in Montclair for many years. My dad and I used to play tennis on their court. Mr. Cali was a very kind man. Keeping Mrs. Cali and the family in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you all my love.

Sorry for the lost of your love one. Draw close to God and he will draw close to you. James 4:8

My deepest sympathy to ALL of the Cali Family! Although I didn't have the honor of knowing John personally as an adult, I have very fond memories of him growing up with Jonna. Knowing what a remarkable man he was, I hope all your wonderful memories can help you during this difficult time.

Charm, humor, style and warmth. John's humanity was always evident...he lived a wonderful life, and i'm glad to have shared a small part of it. My love, Rosie, to all.

Civic minded, honorable, caring and a true gentleman, John was an example to us all. Rose and family, our thoughts and prayers go out to you on your loss.

Deepest sympathy to the family. The tender mercies of God can sustain you through this sad time. The passage in Psalm 62 verse 2 assures, "Indeed, he is my rock and salvation, my secure refuge, I will never be greatly shaken."

Angelo and Mary, as well as John were all beloved by many, including my late husband, Ed Rubenstein. They were also admired for having been supporters of many worthy causes. Rose, we met at a few of those events, and my thoughts and prayers are with you now. John was a gem. He lived a very good life and made many others better because of his devotion.

My sympathies to my childhood friend Brant and his family. Mr. Cali was a classic example of a great man who took the american dream to new heights. God bless
