Dear John,

We had such great times working together at Eastern Financial. The first time you walked into my department I remember saying to myself "Cary Grant still lives!" You always had a smile on your face and a great attitude about life. May you rest in eternal pease.

To the Abbruzzese family, I am so sorry for your loss. John was my graduation partner from High School and I remember all the rides in his VW from Salem St back to Hopedale after a weekend with Gary. Both John and Gary went to soon. All my thoughts and prayers are with all of you and Anne at this time

To the Abbruzzese family. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. I'll always remember his impromptu lunch runs when he would come home as I was babysitting durin the summer, and go for that mid days swim. I used to think it was funny how he wouldn't mind one bit having to take the suit off, swim, and suit back up to go back to the bank. The benefits of having lived so close to where you work I guess. His smile sparkled a room. May he rest in peace, and may you all be comforted by your lifetime of memories.

Please accept my sincere condolences in the loss of your loved one. You will, I am sure, find peace in the many lovely memories that he leaves to comfort you.

May you feel God's loving arms around you during this time of sorrow and in the weeks, months, and years to come.

Jan, I love you very much and will continue to pray for you all.

With love,
Ruth

We will always remember the celebration of life that we had the opportunity to share with you. Thinking of you now in our prayers

Dear John,
Rest In Peace now that you are in heaven with your father. I will always remember your eye expressions when exasperated with "construction" work and the beautiful, elegant way you would saunter into a room. You will be so missed.
