John R. Paci Jr.

I worked with John for many years at the CT DOT. He was undoubtedly the best mechanic I ever knew. He was always willing to share his wealth of knowledge with me and reassure me as I learned the complexities of computer controlled automotive systems. I think of him often and still use many of the techniques he showed me. My only regret is we lost touch after he retired. I will have a Holy Eucharist celebrated in my church in grateful thanksgiving for his life and service to God and country....

I will miss his wonderful greetings each day at daily morning mass. He was always such a sweet sweet man! Thankful to have his kindness touch my soul. Peace John!

John will be surely missed by his buddies at McDonalds for coffee in the morning. You could always learn from him on many subjects, including automobiles. I know I will surely miss him. Rest in peace,John. Don LoPresto.
