I was shocked th hear of John's passing. I had the privilege of working with him at Hartford Hospital and in the Connecticut Societh of Health Systems Pharmacists. He was creative, hard working and always had patient welfare foremost. John always had a positive attitude and was a consumate professional in ever aspect of his practice. He will be missed, but we are all richer for have knowing him.

I was very sorry to hear about John's passing. I worked with John relatively early in my career and considered him a role model. We worked together on an extremely difficult project and he always managed to make each day a little brighter. He will be missed.

I was very surprised and saddened to learn of John's passing. I had the pleasure of working with him for many years at Hartford Hospital. He was an extremely talented pharmacist and IT expert and as kind a person as you could ever meet. He was always uplifting to speak with. I wish all in his family well after such a loss and will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry for your loss. I babysat all the DeSefano kids during the summer growing up in Canterbury. It was quite a job but also rewarding. I still talk about them to this day.
