Not sure what to say?

To John Jr, Matthew, David,and Family. Deepest sympathy in the loss of your dear father. Just heard today 9/19/2019 when my furnace got cleaned. Your father was a wonderful man. He has been our oilman since 1975, when he took over the business from Trio Fuel Oil Company. From that day I promised your father, I would remain a customer with his company. Let not your hearts be troubled. God will always be by your sides. To God Be the Glory. God Bless you all. From: Mrs. Clifford

John, Matt and Dave...just heard last night from my brother Ken about your Dad's passing. Hope you guys and your Mom are doing OK! He was a very special man.

Dear Della & family,

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The community and all of us who served the town with him will surely miss his wit and wisdom on a variety of issues. It will be most difficult for you after your many years of marriage. Please accept my heartfelt condolences at this time of sorrow.

We are saddened to hear of John's passing....sounds like a brief illness and that is a blessing. Sue and I have spent countless hours traveling the world with John, Della and Mathew, including our most recent adventure up the New England and Canadian Maritime coasts. John was such a joy, breath of fresh air, just a great person be around, as he always made any situation so much better and more enjoyable...mostly with constant smile and nonstop comedy routine. Sue and I would like to express...

You are admired and will be missed. Thank you for some of the most sane conversations I have ever had. Fellow warrior Rest In Peace

John did a great deal for the town and it's residence. Thank You

John is synonymous with South Windsor. So happy to see him again when we.moved into town 20 years ago. My father had worked for him as an accountant many years ago and he shared many nice memories with me. He was always going above and beyond for people including lending us his propane tank on Thanksgiving to fry a turkey when we discovered last minute that we had none. Nice, nice man.
