Not sure what to say?

A wonderful man with a good deal of kindness. Life was not as kind to him.

John was the most charming of men and one of the more intelligent and well read amongst us. I taught with him for many years and enjoyed our many discussions. I much admired John. Think of him often. His family has endured a great loss as we all knew of his children--he regarded them as special.

I am so very saddened by Pally's passing. We
had corresponded via email over the years and I
have a "Pally" file just full of his wonderful
stories. His writing ran the gamut of his life experiences and adventures, all written with passion and, of course, humor. I had just recently heard from him and have been eagerly awaiting his reply to my response. Sadly, that will never come. Rest in peace my friend.

It was a pleasure to work with you at Massasoit Community College

John,

It was a pleasure knowing you. Some great conversations and story teller over the years.
You weathered the older years as you started it fail with great endurances and never lost your wit and humor.
You will be missed by all that knew you. God Bless you my friend. Sam Frontiero
