Out thoughts and prayers are with John's family. He was was a constant and respected presence in our neighborhood during my youth, a time when we were all looking for figures to look up to.

Bill, I know how you have loved and admired your dad throughout your life. I'm so sorry he was called to leave you.

Love from Paul Rae and family of Woodstock, CT, but always OFD.

John was a great man and I enjoyed talking to him at my former restaurant Gerard's it was always a pleasure to see him. may he rest in peace. Gerard Adomunes

MISS YOU MY FRIEND,





GREEN APPLES

Sgt. John was my 'First Sergeant" when I was a member of 26th YD / 114th Medical Battalion many years ago- a great leader of men - my sincere condolences to his family

Billy and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I always admired your dad. When I was just little kid just visiting your home. I witnessed his devotion to your family,( especially your Mom) his faith and country. His straight forward honesty and strength were a lifetime for inspiration me. I was in awe of the man, every time I met him. He stayed true to himself and never changed. A truly great man.

Requiescat in pace!
