Condolences to Janet and family...

Simply put - we (JoAnn and I)loved John dearly and wish him peace in his final journey. Wishing Janet, Marianne, Wayne and their daughters Emily and Erin peace also at this time.

Thank you for your service. Rest In Peace

Janet and.family, Ji, and I are so sorry for your loss. John was such a good man, and what an entertainer! We will miss him at SOIA meetings.

Here's a 1984 photo of John from our family album.

So sorry for your loss Janet, Marianne, Wayne, Erin, and Emily. John Salomone was wise, kind, and moral man. What I will miss most in the years to come, I think, are the opportunities to resume our philosophical discussions about social injustices. I'm happy to have known him. He was an exceptional reader, thinker, and humanitarian. I will always think of John as one of the last of the genuine 'street philosophers', in the tradition of Eric Hoffer.

Uncle John was a great man who left a real impression on me. He indeed always was able to lighten a situation with a well timed joke or interesting story. My wife Julie and I still have several of the crosses he made adorned in our home. They will always remind me of him when I see them. A fitting tribute to a great man.
