Not sure what to say?

I miss my ex-boss and dear friend. We met through a jockey I knew and I ended up working for him at Garden State and Philadelphia race tracks. John was a go getter. Non stop hard worker who loved his family and his horses. He would help any friend in need and always made you laugh. I have so many great memories. May he be resting in peace and feel our love from afar. Love and respect to his family.

Johnny was a next door neighbor for many years in the Oxford Cir area. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.

John was a great race track personality!!! Generous to all with a great laugh!!! You couldnt help liking big John...he was always a lot of fun!!! Rest In Peace

One of the most funniest, out going, non stop people I have ever been around. John was an amazing horseman and totally lived life to the fullest. I still remember him pushing that crazy guy down the hill in the wheel chair and driving around the hood in Nashville TN in a Crown Vic and everyone thought we were cops. Also the time running into John in the backside of Hollywood Park Ca, when I was dropping off Horse and we hadn't seen each other for years. Most of all I will remember running...

Johnny and Pat, My heartfelt condolences to you and your family at this sorrowful time. May love and light surround you and comfort you in your time of need. Much love
