Colonnello Family: I don't even know where to begin to express my sadness of John's passing. He was a terrific, wonderful and kind man who left an impression every time you were with him; he always spoke the truth, and had a very loving heart. We have lost a great person, who made this world a better place. I know that he is in heaven, with my father, and that they are taking care of each other. May he Rest In Peace. My heart goes out to all of you, with my deepest condolences, and my family and I will miss him dearly.

Wayne and Ryan, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. He was a great man and I sure loved the times we spent on the pheasant hunts. Rest In Peace John.
