John T. Gregorio Sr.

Mayor Gregorio was a good and loyal friend and the greatest mayor Linden has ever had or ever will have.

I was the political writer of the Elizabeth DAILY JOURNAL before I moved on to the New York POST and then UPI.

If you ever needed help, he was there. John loved to help people and they, in return, loved him.

God rest his soul.

John Jr,

So sorry to hear about the passing of your father. He was a great man, who will be remembered for the great things he did for Linden and its people. I will always remember a job of driving an Italian ice truck and we were having pizza in it..and your Dad pulled up next to us in his Cadillac and said "Pizza Party?'...and we offered him some..he took it..talked to us for a while, thanked us and drove off. He was so easy to talk to and always so eager to help in any way he could....

I am so saddened to hear about John's passing. Knowing the family as I do, you will all be there for one another to comfort each other. May you all be strong at a time like this and have wonderful memories.
With love from an 'old' babysitter, neighbor, employee and friend. Esther Gutkin Schenker
