Fantastic Comedian!

John was a great comedian. when I first seen him, I wasn´t in that good of a mood after that I just couldn´t get enough of his jokes and he always made me happy. It´s a shame that a man like that is gone. He shared a lot of happiness with people that I know, and myself may he rest in peace, and God bless.

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.

Fantastic comedian our condolences to the family and friends

My husband and I had so many laughs from watching John Pinette videos. He was so talented; gone too soon. God bless him.

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.

Dear John, If laughter is the best medicine you are my doctor.

John´s brilliant performances should play eternally. They made the world a much happier place and we could really benefit from enjoying them often.
