Thank you for allowing me to share your sorrow. My prayers are dedicated to John, his dear wife and sons. May the memories of your husband and Dad be your solace now and always. John will be sorely missed..a sincere friend to so many. An outstanding example of true friendship to all who knew him and the love of the town of East Bridgewater which he gave back in such a big way.

Johnny was the best Chief we ever had when I lived in E. Bridgewater. He was fair, listened to the kids, helped them into the right direction, and was loved by all.
I certainly remember organizing one of your campagin at Peter Spagones office and you were not just a "cop". you were a friend, who cared about everyone. I am honored to have been your friend and now I am so sorry for your loss for your wife Jeannie and sons, Joel, & John. May you go rest high on that mountain, your work on...
