Cousins Camille, Joe, Sharon, David and their families, cousins Dan, Paul and Albert, May the Lord heal your sad hearts and comfort you always. We rejoice that our cousin John, a man who loved the Lord, his family and those less fortunate, has entered his heavenly home! We will sorely miss his tender "hello" while walking up the aisle in church to sit at his place. "Joanne" will miss her "special" friend too. We love you all.

John was a unique person with a philosophy on life all his own. As a fellow employee, I greatly admired this in him. I am saddened by his passing. There are many of his fellow workers who will not soon forget him.
My condolences to you Cam and Paul and the rest of John's family.

Too many memories to count!! So saddened to hear this news. Growing up next to the Rufo family on Clark Lane were the best of times. Blizzard of '66, putting on plays in the Rufo basement, kickball in the back yard, etc. Thinking of you all and sending my love.....
