Not sure what to say?

I worked with John at the Submarine Base BCT, my first Navy duty station. He was a conscientious and professional operator and supervisor and an intelligent and kind gentleman.

John was a kind and gentle person who loved playing the piano for everyone. He was a generous soul and will be missed. RIP John. I'm glad to have known you and could call you friend.

Worked for Mr. Socha at the Sub Base when I was a young sailor almost 30 years ago...I remember him as a kind, easy-going, and dryly funny supervisor and a good man. My condolences to his family and friends.

I worked with Pat Socha at the Plainfield Dog Track and Foxwoods and I wanted to extend my deepest sympathy to Pat and her family. Affectionately Patricia Phillips.

I extend condolences to Johnny's family...he grew up next to my aunt's house at 188 Boswell Ave. and I recall many enjoyable visits to his mother's store for candy, etc...I will add him to my prayer list...

John was a very interesting man. He loved sitting out on the patio during the nice weather enjoying the landscape. He generously shared his love of music by playing the piano for residents at both Windham Falls and Academy Point. On numerous occasions he would call me and play for me as well. John will be missed.
