Hawk... Johnny was one my best friends. I still miss him. We went everywhere together. Especially if it dealt with the track and horseracing. His humor was tremendous. He's OK and still handicapping!

Uncle John was one of a kind. He always had a smile on his face. His face would light up with joy every time he saw us. When we were young, he always came over with the most funny, unusual gifts that would make us giggle. Whenever I think of him, I smile. We will miss him dearly.

Whenever I had the chance to make it to John's house on Tuesday night for BNO, it was a pleasure to see Tut's smiling face. He was a master at the shuffleboard table. RIP friend!

Jonh and I were best of friends for 30 years. Whether it was in work or play, we were side by side. He always was my eyes. It's impossible to say how much I will miss him.

Tut was one of a kind. He loved to laugh and made people laugh with his endless sense of humor. He touched many lives, more than he ever knew. I will miss him!

Me & Uncle Tut at my dad's wedding
Uncle Tut was one of the nicest people I've ever known. I recently found out that I was only one of his 16 godchildren. I think the fact that he had 16 godchildren is a true testament to the kind of person he was. I can't think of Uncle Tut and not hear his contagious laugh. He will be loved and missed forever.

I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the family. I will always remember Tut and how he always made everyone laugh. He was a great man and will be missed deeply by his friends from the crowd. His memory will live on for years to come.
