Not sure what to say?

John. Thank you for your courage and bravery. "Gone but not forgotten" †††

bless him seeing him on the 9,11 story my condolences to his family friends he was a lovely man a brave man

I knew John growing up in Tottenville. I remember seeing his shiny little black dog darting out behind him when he came out the door on Main Street. I bumped into him over the years. I think the last time I saw him was with some relief when he popped up in a Sept. 11 documentary some years ago. I always thought I would bump into him again sometime. I was so sad to hear he died. It's good this memorial is here and to see how affectionately he is remembered. I'll always remember him.

I cannot believe you're gone John. I'm so sorry...Marilyn

Hi all I am Pam O'Connor that only means I was a cousin of Johnny.I find it very hard to talk about. I have prayed for a long time to get to this point. He loved his Brothers in the NYFD and family. He overcame many situations in his life AND WON. I am proud to have shared, his blood as part of mine and so is his Grand Ma Aunt Helen. I am sure that Peg, Delores and Helen have him in their arms. AMEN

What a nice guy! What a great hero! What a great loss! Thank you John for your courage and dedication to the safety of your fellow Americans. Rest in peace cousin. God has a special place for you with Pop and Uncle Junie. You will always make our hearts swell with pride.

John was a good friend of mine here on Edisto & we both shared a love for animals..both us had rescues and I do rescue work. I watched alot of the coverage on Sept 11 last week, including the ABC special where he was featured! He adored his dogs Sam,Roscoe,Sootie, Pirate and Ringo. All have been placed in wonderful homes and here is his special boy Sam who is available for adoption.
