John I think of you often I miss your funny jokes and your loving and smiling nature. You always took the time to listen to me even when I was a child you told me when you were going to propose to Judy and made me feel special. Thanks for being you. Love you and miss you.

John was not only my nephew but a dear friend. I treasured our talks. He called to check on me especially when I was grieving after Sandy passed away.
I will miss him very much.
He touched the lives of all who knew him. I know God blessed me with having such a dear person in my life.
I will miss him so very much.
My prayers and love to Judy and the family.
God bless you,

What a privilege it was to know such a wonderful man. We are so sorry to currently be in Florida and unable to honor John at his rosary and mass. We will always cherish the memories of our ski trips where we got to enjoy his sense of humor and kindness. We took some great runs together. Please know our hearts are with you and your family, Judy. God bless.

To Judy and the Merlino family,
We are truly saddened by the loss of John. He always had a ready smile and a very obvious love for his family and friends. (He also was a lot of fun to ski with......) We will miss him!

Ever since I was about 9 years old, I looked up to John. I will miss him on this earth and would treasure one more chance to tell him how much.

John was a very dear cousin. From the time I was a little girl he took the time to sit and talk about what was going on in my life as well as telling me about his, even though I was younger.
He sat me down and talked to me about how he met the girl he was going to marry...I was a little girl at the time, but i will never forget the joy in his eyes and the fact that he was sharing such a beautiful moment with me. He even brought Judy around for us all to meet..
.He was...
