The Honorable John Joseph Craven Jr.

From double dating to campaign manager John was a good friend.I am sure that he had a good position in Heaven.

Mrs. Craven and family,

I just heard through friends from Boston College about your loss. Please know that I am very sorry for the loss of your wonderful husband and father. We have lit a candle for your family at St. Patrick's church in Bisbee. God Bless.

Sincerely and with great condolences,
Laura Miller Postles and family

My condolences to the family. I'll never forget John - he was my very first date and we went to a dance at Roxbury Latin. Anna and Sandy McCallum of West Roxbury were friends of his parents and my aunt and uncle, and his sister Sheila was a year or two behind me at Holy Cross Academy.

I'm very sorry to all for your loss.

Sheila Porter (McLean, VA)

Dear Pat and family
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of the Judge. I knew you for only a very short time, but as with all people he met, the Judge impressed me as did all of you. Truly unconditional love of a fabulous man by his family. Bless you all in your time of sorrow

Dear Pat,

I was so deeply saddened to read of John's death at such a young age. I remember us all as kids in Mattapan as well as at the Wellfleet cottage. May the love of your family and friends coupled with your own wonderful memories help you heal from this loss.

Our thoughts and prayers,

Katherine and Family,
So very sorry for your loss, may your memories comfort you during this difficult time.

Dear Craven Family,

I am sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. RIP.

Katherine and the entire Craven Family, Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I was in the company of the Judge on only a few occassions, but he was such a wonderful, energetic and inspiring person that I will always remember those times, as well as keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
