I am so sorry to hear about John. I was his next door neighbor for many years and he and I spent many an afternoon talking about the state of the World. I have never known a better man. Jodi please accept my condolences.

So sorry to hear about the passing of John, my first job was at Sweetland as a waitress and enjoyed watching John make his favorite candies on that marble table in the back, colorful mints, seafoam and oh the chocolate rabbits at Easter...great memories.

Very sorry to hear about John Sr passing. My Father Joe and I enjoyed working with the family and always looked forward to his cheery positive attitude and the tasty truffles.

To The Naum Family...So sorry to learn of John's passing. It is a comfort that he knew the Lord, and you will all be reunited with him in Heaven.

My deepest sympathy to Jodie and her entire Family. I have known John from high school and Jodie from Kindergarten. John was a dear man to everyone and always had a smile on his face. He will be missed by many.

Our love to the family, and our deepest condolences on the passing of a great man.
