So, so sorry to learn of John's passing. Even he was astonished at the number of times I would see him at Stop & Shop each week. He was a terrible tease and a practiced flirt, and he always made me laugh. Prayers for peace for John and the Strileckis family.

John was a very caring person- He would go out of his way for anyone.

May the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you, John

My condolences to your family, it's a terrible loss and he'll be missed. No matter when or where I saw him he always made it a point to make me smile, I'm gonna miss him.

Knowing John was something special for me. I cannot express how sorry I feel to each of you. I think Paul will take very good care of him.

So sorry for your loss..Everytime i went to his bagging aisle--we would playfully tap each other to see who got the last one in--he would say out loud --here comes the troublemaker--called me troublemaker--Going to miss seeing him there..At least he got his last tap on me..

So very sorry Uncle Tony, for the loss of your son, and to my cousins, for the loss of your brother. John was an inspiration to all, fun-loving, always happy, and the had the best smile ever. My sincere condolences to you all. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May you rest in peace John, until we meet again.

Andy, Shelly, and Family,
