He liked to hunt and fish, was a friend to everyone, and tried to help anyone if he could. He never had a harsh word for anyone.

Dear Tambellini Family,
So sorry to hear about your loss. While It has been many years since I saw John, we did speak about 6-7 months ago and I know he spoke with my mom often in the last year especially. I know the time we spent together wont be forgotten. We have alot of family photos. Rest in peace John.

Mrs. T, Mike, Paula - was so very sorry to hear the news about John. I have so many memories of time spent with John - all the way back to Sebring avenue as a young boy, at the hunting/fishing camp, eating lunch at the restaurant and of course all the great times at the Alpine. John was always one of my favorite people to spend time with and I really looked up to him when I was young. I pray that he is at peace and take comfort that he and Mr. T are having a blessed reunion. Our thoughts and prayers are with John and your family.

Dear Flo, Mike, and Paula,
Please accept my sincere sympathy on John's passing. Although it's been quite some time since I last saw John, I know with certainty that he lived life to the fullest during our younger days. (I know because I was there with him.)
May he rest in peace in the presence of the Lord.
