John was a selfless individual who spent his life helping others. He kept us laughing and "recruited" everyone he met to join him in doing their best to make this world a better place. My husband is one of many who benefitted from the heart technology made possible by the John Crecco foundation. Rest in Peace John, your life was well-lived. It was a pleasure to have known you! My sincere sympathy to Susan, Virginia, and all of John's family and friends.

John was a friend and coworker at DMAHS. He was an inspiration to everyone he met. He spoke often of his lovely wife and daughters. He made efforts to help those less fortunate than himself every day. Heaven has gained a mighty angel ! My most sincere sympathy to John's family. Rest in peace John, you will be missed. Beth Kocot

I'm not sure if I ever met a more giving person in my life. Mr.Crecco did more for others than he did for himself. He lived a remarkable life and I hope we all realize how special he was. As sad as his passing is I hope that everyone celebrates his life while saying Thank You to this remarkable man. We are all better people for having his example of a life well lived. Godspeed Mr. Crecco.

John and Marion were two of the best persons I ever met. They always reminded me of the selfless generation that my parents belonged to. Their patriotism, generosity, friendliness, helpfulness to so many people made them genuine role models. I am proud to have known them and will always remember and miss them. Goodbye, old friends. I salute you once again, John. Dan Martin

God rest him - he was a terrific mayor. He actually married my husband and me at City Hall and he had a lovely scroll printed up, suitable for framing, so we could remember the day. He wanted to make a civil wedding into something special - and we still have that scroll, framed, today. Pat and I have been married thirty years this very month.
He was a wonderful man.

John Cresco was indeed a gentleman and a source of edification for many. I will certainly remember him at the Mass I celebrate this week. May he rejoice in seeing The Lord face to face -and rest in peace.
Sincere sympathy to his family. They should always have great pride in his endeavors.
