JOHN N. SWEETNICH

I was given an old-and I mean OLD newspaper clipping of John and I smooching it up in a production of Dames at Sea. I Googled him to see what he was up to, and found this. I'm stunned, because he was one of those people you hope to run into again one day. So full of life and fun! Til we meet again, old friend.

John, it's 10 years since you left this earth and I still find it hard to believe. To me, you are still a living spark of light who laughed uncontrollably at whatever outrageous thing we were up to, in high school and years beyond. You are never forgotten and on my list of friends I can't wait to hug and laugh with again, in heaven. Continued love and condolences to your family and countless number of friends who are still grieving their tremendous loss.

i just recently learned of john's passing. he was my date to homecoming in our sr. year at ghhs. oh the fun we had at the golden bowl for dinner. always a class act. respectfully, wendy roman krebs

So sorry for your loss cousin...

I have such wonderful memories of John from our days at Tower City. He was the best! I will never forget how much we all used to laugh during our rehersals. John was a special, extremely talented, kind & passionate person. I'm sorry to hear the news of his passing ~ I'm grateful to have known him. ~ With Love,

There are so many memories of laughter shared about John. I met him in high school and shared lunch with him for a couple of years. There was so much laughter that eating was often impossible. What a great legacy John has left for everyone.

John and I choreographed many of the Higbee Fashion shows together and he was my Bernardo when I choreographed West Side Story at Huntington Playhouse. Although our paths have not crossed in a long time I am very saddened at his loss. He was a vibrant, vivacious, creative force in all that he did. My condolences to his family and friends. He will truly be missed. He is surely dancing on the other side.

I remember meeting John in my first professional theatre production of 'Dames at Sea' at The Southest Summer Theatre when I was 10 years old. It was so much fun to work with him. He was very talented, had a great singing voice and was such a mench on stage and off! I am so sad knowing the world has lost one of it's brightest lights. May he rest in peace.
