Although I didn't know John on a personal level, I will never forget those fire drill days he organized and directed on the floors including ours. He was a very lively and patient man, providing all the requested info, and answering all asked questions. He will be missed greatly by 6W staff at BMC. May his gentle soul rest in peace in the Lord. My condolences to the family he leaves behind to bear the irreplaceable loss.

For the short time I knew him I could tell he was a kind, caring and fun person to be around. Although he has left us much too soon he has left us with some impressionable memories that we will always remember. To Margret and his family, I am deeply sorry for your loss may you find warmth and comfort in your hearts today and always.

So sorry for the loss of your Dad, he was one of the good guys. He will be missed. My deepest condolences. Sincerely, Jason Murphy

I still can't believe John will not stop by to chat, to give us flowers on St. Patrick's Day, show us pictures of his granddaughter and he will no longer attend parties wearing one of his many costumes to entertain us all. Over 21 years of working with John, too many memories to put into words. When John retired he promised he would drop by and he kept his word. Whenever I thought it's been a while that we haven't seen John, he showed up and made sure he saw and spent some time with each...

I wish to add my condolences, and at the same time a celebration of his life and accomplishments with the appreciation having been able to meet and work with John. Best wishes and graces to all.

This candle is lit in loving memory for John with love & heartfelt sympathy to Meg and their many family and friends.

With Sincere Sympathy,

John was one of those very special people. Very smart, kind, caring and so so funny. His office was right next to mine. I loved hearing the background Latin music, and our evening conversations after a long day before going home. He was so proud of his kids, and so happy to have found a wonderful companion. I started missing my friend John when I moved from Boston. I will now miss him forever. But I know that, wherever he is gone to, he will be smiling and listening to Puerto Rican music....
