Dear Lydia, John and Doreen, I want you to know your Husband and Father was the most dedicated man I know when it came to caring about the youth of East Boston. Hockey and EBYHA in particular would not have existed if it wasn't for men like John. Eye surgery this past week made it impossible for me to be present to express my condolences but I want you to know although sadness is great at the present time, Gods calling is at any time and he truly has welcomed a great man into his Kingdom. Sincerely Don Larsen

I remember John back in the fifties when East Boston High was East Boston. During the seventies and eighties we hooked up and our wives Lydia and Grace became part of a group that experienced many great times together.

John was fun, always gracious and his true Italian background was demonstrated thru his hospitality, and canny ability to understand other people and as a father and mentor to John and Doreen gave them the needed confidence to succeed in life.

Most of all Lydia, may you gather the strength needed to go on without John.
We pray for you and your family on this huge loss.
