JOHN P. DEMATTEO

Dad, on behalf of all your crew members, thank you for all you did for us and for helping to show us the way.

You were the best of the best; a compassionate, kind, gentle man with a big heart which all of us needed.

You are a hero to us.

We miss you and we love you. Rest in peace Dad.

John was one of the nicest, friendliest, and most helpful people at the school. Thanks for everything John, rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of John's passing. He was a great guy. The night before our graduation, I sought John out and asked for his help. And so it was that John took charge of icing three cases of champagne in the ALS cooler that night, which his crew then transported to SPAC the next morning, and placed under the seats where my class sat for the cermony. We enjoyed that champagne immensely after we got our degrees, and even shared some with our speaker, then-Governor Mario Cuomo, who was pretty...

sorry to hear about your father. prayers are with you and your family at this time.

As a long time employee of Albany Law School, I remember John as an excellent fellow employee who gave much to support the students, and in turn, the School. Thank you John! what an example!

We're very sorry for your loss. My family's thoughts and prayers are with your family.

It is with real sadness that I heard of John's passing, both myself and my family, Lillian, Greg, Glen and Gale will be eternally grateful for John's help and friendship while I was a student at Albany Law. There were two angels at ALS:John De Matteo and Helen Wilkinson, now they are together. John and I (We) remained friends through out the years. I shared a birthday with John and I made sure to call him on that day and occasionally. God take care of his soul.
