Not sure what to say?

I miss you every day Daddy. I see you every where. I´m so grateful I got to call you my best friend

John was a remarkable boss. My husband, Ted, had the pleasure of working with John over the last five years. It was always a good day at Dematic when Ted was late getting home because he had a great conversation with John after working a ten hour day. John had a way of making everyone he worked with feel important. After hearing the stories of "Vinnie" with his friends and family, I know he was loved deeply. And Sarah, Payton and Chance ....I can honestly say, his dedication to his job...

John was a great boss, I always teased him about the Lions and said that my favorite team was whoever was playing them. So so sorry for your loss. My God bless and keep your family in your prayers

We went to school together and I was a relatively close neighbor of Vinnie nearly my entire life, as he was one year ahead starting at Mary A. White Elementary in Grand Haven. He was always the friendliest, nicest guy, and as I think back to all the memories, he was always close by. It is a void now that is an odd feeling. Condolences to Vinnie´s family and closest friends. RIP, my friend.

Vinnie you were one of the bests and an honor to call you a great friend. Words don´t do justice for all the laughs and memories we shared together. Love you buddy and know you will always be with me.

Like everyone else, I´m very shocked and extremely saddened by his passing. John was an important person at Dematic but you wouldn´t have known that from his demeanor or the way he treated everyone in the building. He always made time to talk, we had many laughs and great conversations through the years.. I consider John a friend and I´m very proud to be able to say that, he was a good man, may he rest in peace.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of John's passing. We were coworkers for many years at Dematic and I talked to him occasionally. My condolences to his family.

My first memory of John was when I had to call him directly because I didn't know which entrance to go in at the 510 Ball Dematic plant, honestly a little embarrassing calling my plant manager but John was patient with me and told me where to go.
