Rest in peace cousin John , always enjoyed you , your humour , and our intelligent conversations xxx

So sorry to hear this. I always enjoyed John's company at Neil and Maddie Simpson's place in Flemington and the few times I saw him at the shore house. RIP, John.

I will always remember the hours spent surf fishing in Barnegat Light. He was one of a kind. Generous, fun loving and just an all-around great guy. John will always be in my thoughts. Our sympathies to all.

Debbe and family: I hadn´t seen "Johnny Wales" in quite some time. Worked with him in the 70´s-80´s. Benedict´s guy.Great guy, terrific fearless trial attorney, pretty damn good softball player. Always a man who picked others up one we might´ve been feeling in the dumps. Did it for me. Great sense of humor, and over the veil of years I remember having had a beer or two with him at McGovern`s My sincere sympathies to all.

Your grade school friend from OurLady of the Lake Ray Fischer. I missed playing little league baseball with you. Call me from heaven at 925 784 1301.
