John Andrew Kovach Sr.

Dear Auntie Bev, May God bless you all on this day and always. Our hearts are broken. Uncle Moe was a loving and caring man. We are going to miss. God has one more angle on his side to look down on us. All our love Renee, Josh, and Sal

Heaven just gained a precious angel. Uncle John, you were a great man. You knew how to put a smile on everyone's face. I will miss running into you at the Naugatuck Walmart. Love, The Valvo Family.. Sal, Kathy and Marc

While I sit here and ponder the passing of my dear Uncle Johnny, a smile is put on my face- for a man who always had a joke to tell. I will always remember as a child and with my children also, pulling on that beard to make sure it was real..I love you Uncle Johnny and will truly miss you. I know you are at peace with you parents and siblings.

Love; Denise Esteves

Even the last time i was with Uncle Johnny, he pointed out a spot on my shirt - then waited till i looked... then he popped my nose. I always fell for that one. He could always make me laugh. How lucky to have such a great fun man as an uncle. My heart and prayers to the family.
I will miss him dearly until we meet again on the other side.

Nanny, John, Dawn, Gary and everyone else who loved Poppy, I don't think that anyone could have said it better than my dad. (the man has a way with words that will bring you to tears, It's a gift!) I feel like after all these years of being part of the family, that he was my Poppy too. I loved him and will miss him very much. He was a special man, the way he loved those grandchildren and each and every other child in the family too (like my son. Jake always felt loved by Poppy) We are all...

Dear Auntie Bev

It is still hard to believe you have left us Dad but I know that you are enjoying your time with your Mom and Dad and brothers and sisters now. I guess I'm a little selfish in saying that I wasnt ready to give you up yet but knowing you are at peace helps me accept it. I'll miss you more than you know. You were truly the best father-in-law a girl could ask for and I was proud to call you "Dad". xoxo

Poppy was put here for a purpose, his contribution to life cannot be measured. He was a gentle giant among his grandchildren, always teaching as they progressed in age, forever showing them the right way, growing with them. As he approached you to shake your hand, or to give you a hug, you saw those soft gentle eyes and that flowing beard, making you think, "there is a santa claus." He had that kind of effect on people. Never to complain about what life had dealt him. he went on with grace...
