Condolences to John's family. Knew John since he patrolled the East Side. We would get together at Shepard Hills for coffee and talk about the old days. Always good stories and sense of humor. John was one of the good guys and we spoke a few months ago at LVHC. May you Rest in Peace.

Jocelyn & the entire Young Family, My heartfelt sympathies to all of you at this greatest time of need. John was one of Daddy's best friends and I know if he could he'd be there for him. It seems like forever that I know John and he always made me laugh from a little girl to the times when I waited on him at the Ham Fan! He had the most awesome sense of humor and a beautiful smile! He will be missed! With sympathy, Kathi

So sorry to hear of John's passing. The passed year has separated us as Breakfast Buddies, but we've tried to stay in touch by phone. I'll miss you my friend. R.I.P. John.

So very sorry to see that John has passed. My deepest condolances to Jocelyn and his children, Wendy and John. He and I grew up together in the Tenth Ward and he actually sat behind me for all three years in high school. We did stay in touch somewhat over the later years. He was special and certainly a plus in my life. Thinking of our many past memories together certainly has me beaming and like many, will miss that great smile that John possessed. Rest well my friend, I'm certain God...

We´re saddened to hear about John´s passing. John was a great police officer and detective. He was admired by his coworkers for his professionalism and dedication to the citizens of Allentown. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather and will be missed by all who knew him. Rest In Peace, my friend.
