Not sure what to say?

I played the piano at Casey´s while John sang his favorite Irish Ballards while we were both at Wells in the early 80´s. Most recently I had the pleasure of teaching with John to both undergraduates and grad students at Chapman. Never to be forgotten for sure. Bill Wood

I was very blessed to have an amazing friendship with Big John for 20 plus years. SC Football games, Super Bowl, Stanley Cup Finals, golf and many charity events. John´s friendship changed my life for myself and my family. My boys always called him Uncle John. Big John was the older brother I never had. I love you pal. RIP John. Dave

I got to know John in my Wells Fargo days and then afterward here in southern California. Always upbeat and always supportive of those who worked for him, John had that combination of dedication and decency that makes everyone smile when they think of him.

From our first meeting at the Plaza Hotel in NYC for breakfast on St Patrick's Day in 1981 till now we were good friends. Condolences to your Family and God Bless.

Condolences to the Family. John was a friend since 1981 since he hired me at Wells Fargo in LA. I will keep him and all of the family in my prayers. God Bless.

Here´s a Brenans milk punch to you "Kelts".

Prince, I miss our texting and the banter as my Celtics are one game away from #18. Seve
