Not sure what to say?

The local construction industry lost one of it's most intelligent, likeable and comical members. When the silver truck pulled up on the job, I ALWAYS looked forward to what I was about to hear, that is after a couple of facial expressions worth about ten thousand words! I truly believe John could have made it in Hollywood and would be as much of a legend as he is here. What a man..............what a man!

Geri:

My hearts goes out to you and the family. John was a wonderful man and he will be missed very much. May God show you the way to get through all of this. If I can do anything for you or you need a helping hand...I will be there.

Dear Geri--we don't get the paper and just happened to see this when looking through the obits. I am so sorry. John was a character; he was always joking around and smiling. I'll always remember when we would go to your house on Pleasant Street on our lunch hours, many years ago. My sincere condolences to you and your sons.

Geri, So sorry to hear about John. I remember being with him the night he met you. You changed his life forever.

Geri, John & Danae and Scott (Katie): we just got back from a cruise and heard the sad news. We are so sorry to hear and more important that we were not there to be with all of you.
Please accept our deepest sympathy.
We like everyone else will miss John's sense of humor and laugh.
May God comfort you in the days ahead.
With deepet sympathy and love;
