To Barbara and family,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of John. I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of serving with John in the State Senate. He was also classmate in Leadership Rhode Island in 1990. John was admired and respected by all. He leaves a wonderful lasting legacy in his family and his community service in the State of Rhode Island.
May happy memories help to reduce the sadness that are now experiencing. RIP John.

Condolences to John's family. A good person with whom I often disagreed but it was never disagreeable. He will be missed at the Bar for his conscientious leadership.

We served together in the R.I. State Senate where John displayed his astute...
