After being out of town for a few weeks, I was saddened to find out about John's passing. John had been my barber for over 20 years and I considered him a friend. My visits for a haircut were always met with tales of fishing, golf and other topics of interest. He will definitely be missed!

As an incredible husband, father, grandfather, and friend, John will be remembered for making everyone better. He was one of my deceased father's best friends. I adored him. May Michele, his three children, and seven grandchildren know how much he loved them. He was an example of all that is right. Always ready. Always kind. Always loving. My family and I are always here for John's family. Be at peace.

Mr. Grech was my baseball coach at St. Bart's in the early 1990s and my barber for a number of years. My sincerest condolences to the family.

Sad to hear of John's passing. He was mentor to so many on the football field. His command on the field was legendary! He will be missed by all. John inspired so many of us when we were newer officials.
