JOHN E. PARRELLI

An update to my 12/2017 post. John lives on through his legacy. My current optometrist received some training in his office and remembers him well, and an optician in our town also knew him. There must be many more such experiences among John's former patients. Tribute to a good man and life well-lived.

I just learned of John´s passing and am truly sorry. He was a very special, caring, and gifted person. I will always remember him and send my condolences to his family.

So sorry to have just discovered that John passed away almost 2 years ago now. I had no idea. He was very kind and generous with his time, so full of life, and stories, and advice for my eyes. I went from contact lenses to glasses, after it became apparent that contacts were just no longer working for me. He always seemed like a friend, as well as being very professional and knowledgeable. I think I can say that I've never met anyone else like him, who cared so much for his profession...

This is late, I know. I was just talking to a colleague about my time with Bausch & Lomb, when I was a young sales representative, and I learned that my friend John passed away....that man was awesome!

John and Karen are so nice and so generous. As a young rep in the Optical business, they were so giving to me. I remember John saying to me: it doesn't matter what you think it is... it is about the patients Great man, great family...God Bless...

My very belated, heartfelt condolences to John's family and dear friends. I just called the Cambridge office to schedule my annual checkup, and was shocked to learn that John passed away a year ago. I've been a patient for a decade, and John was unfailingly professional, attentive to detail, inquisitive and always learning new things, friendly and just plain interesting to chat with. It was under his care when I first visited the Cambridge location that I was able to make the transition...

Karen,
Our message was the Dec. 27th one and I neglected to add our names so you know how much John meant to us throughout the years and is deeply missed. Our doors are always open to you on Nantucket.
With love and gratitude,
Binth Rustad and Normand Berthelette

I am so sorry to hear about this. Such a smart and kind man.

I just heard about the passing of this wonderful man. My heart goes out to his family, and his wife, whom he always spoke of so lovingly. Rest in peace John. Maureen Rivieccio

I was so sorry to hear about John's passing. John always had a smile and a friendly hello for all. I've been apart of Parrelli Optical for over 20 years doing business with the staff and John
I will miss his kindness and generosity
