I first heard John Pinette on Sirius Radio. I became a huge fan. Many road trips were spent laughing at the hilarious stories he shared. I´m watching `I´m Starving´ as I write this tribute. He will be forever missed.

I am so thankful I stumbled upon this page. We have had so many great laughs watching Mr. Pinettes comedy shows. He had the ability to make anything funny. We had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Pinette live a couple of years before his passing. It was one of my favorite memories with my husband. God Bless your family I know John is making others laugh in heaven now.

Look at all of the accolades from month to month and year to year. They still keep coming. I hope that your family reads these from time to time and takes solace in the fact that you have affected so many of us, enriched our lives (for real) and have made us look at life just a little differently. You were the best. Thank you.
