As a lab tech, I worked with Friar Tuck often. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was a great nurse to work with. A great soul, John is gone way too soon. God bless him and his family.

I was so sorry to read of John's passing in the paper this morning. I went to school at Deac. with him and then we worked nights at the VA together. He and Barry and I became good friends during that time. It is a shame how we lose track of friends in the busyness of our own lives. John had such a great sense of humor and to this day I repeat funny things he used to say. He was a wonderful co-worker and and an honorable man. I am so sorry for your loss.
