I am so sorry for your loss. I remember working with John years ago at South Buffalo Mercy Hospital. I was an aide & he was an orderly. He was always so friendly & fun. I think I had a crush on him. Rest in peace John. Mary

Mary, Bill and Denise:
I was so very sorry to read of John´s death. He was a gentle & kind man & I have many fond memories of him. He was always so good to my mom when I first moved to Florida: taking out her garbage, checking on her & driving her to appointments. My mother was very fond of him & always asked about him. I hope the love & laughter you shared bring you comfort during this difficult time.
