John Distefano

Ellen and family.
I'm saddened at the news of John's passing. He was a wonderful man who always had time to give to others. He is an irreplaceable asset to Coachlight Square and the community. He will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

It was such a pleasure to live at Coachlight and see John's smiling face. He was always so helpful and made you feel he understood you no matter what the problem was. His warm spirit radiated from him to everyone he delt with. He was to young to die and it is truly a loss to the community and to his family. May God help his family and friends during this time of grief.

John was one of those beautiful souls that God sens to make a difference in people's lives. When we first came to this country , eleven years ago, John would be that helping hand, that warm smile, that cheerful spirit, that needed comfort, that familiar face you want to find during the day to alliviate your homesickness. Rest in peace dear John. We will always keep you in our hearts. Son long until we see you again. Thank you for everything you did for Martin and our family. Love you always...

John was a unique and special person - a devoted family man, a true gentleman, dear friend, a talented, conscientious and caring worker, who I admired and respected. We will all miss him so very much. He was the hero we called when things needed his expertise. I am certain that when anything needs repair in Heaven, John will be on call to keep everthing in tip top shape. My deepest sympathy to Ellen and the family.
