Deeply saddened to hear of John's sudden passing. Knew John for over 20 years while working in the field of healthcare. Always looked forward to seeing him every year I visited his facility. Shared some great laughs and exchanged many ideas. John was a great guy and I am truly saddened that I will not see him again. Rest In Peace John.

Dear Cofrancesco Family,

I was beyond devastated to learn of the news of John's sudden passing. My name is Chef Cardie Mortimer and I was a patient 4 different times at West Caldwell Care Center. During my time there, John was always jovial, caring, thoughtful and personable in his ways. We developed a wonderful and unique friendship. In many ways, he was responsible for my "healing". I will miss John's friendship more than you will ever know. While I am completely heartbroken about his passing, I know that his legacy and his reputation for caring about others will be a beacon of light that will shine brightly down upon all of us forever and a day. Heaven now possesses another true angel. May God Bless John!

Ok so sorry for your loss. I worked with John for many years and helped him get his LNHA. The residents of that nursing home and staff were so lucky to have him as their leader for 21 years. John will be remembered for his smile and his unusual answering machine messages ! Eve Cullinan
