Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of John´s passing. I roomed with John one year at Merrimack. We were both accounting majors and he was in many of my classes. He and I enjoyed bowling weekly and even contemplated both going out for the track team. I enjoyed my time with John. He played on our intramural basketball team. I know he enjoyed it when we were able to win our division. I have been meaning to look John up since I retired and so sorry to find out if his passing. My prayers for John and his family.

I was so saddened to hear of John's passing. He was a wonderful mentor and he passed down a lot of knowledge. I know how much he loved his family and my thoughts are with all of you.

We are so sorry to hear about John. He was a wonderful community member and leader. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Karyn & Margaret - Our condolences on the loss of your dad. Keep the memories of him deep in your heart and take comfort that you now have an Angel to watch over you.

Living across the street from each other for decades made knowing John & Cathy easy and wonderful. Between us we had 4 Boys who spanned 4 years and they truly grew up together. What time & geography separated in the early 2000's, it brought back together a few years ago (when we realized that 8 miles isn't really that far). I cherish our many get togethers since then and will always remember John's sweet & gentle nature. I know that he has left a void & but I am certain that he will be alive...

John was a wonderful guy! I thoroughly enjoyed working for him & with him at Heublein. He had wonderful instincts about people. He always hired the best people. And I always valued his opinion. It was always so very obvious how much he loved his family. My most sincere condolences to Cathy & family. I know he will be sorely missed May he Rest In Peace. Jackie Morgan

My Deepest Condolences.

My brother Jonathan informed me of John´s passing this afternoon. John and I met when we worked together in Hartman´s grocery store in high school. We spent endless time playing sports table-top games at either my house or his. We lost touch after that when I moved away but said "hi" to one another through Jonathan who handled John and Cathy´s insurance over the years. "Deppy"..as he was known to my family was a wonderful guy..honest and a real straight shooter. I could tell back then that...

I worked with John in public accounting and got to share his friendship for years following, golfing and fishing. His smile and wit were warmly received by all who shared his company. We have lost touch though the decades and I am sorry for your loss. His obituary was well written and memorializes the wonderful John Deptula, I had the pleasure and privilege of sharing some of life´s journey. May your knowledge that we grieve with you lessen your pain of loss. My sincere sympathy to all.
