Mr. John Generoso,
We all will certainly miss your zest for life and your ideals in living life to the fullest. Lori and I will really miss you and all the good times we had together. Personally, I have known you for well over 38 years and have so many fond memories especially our many trips to New York City and going to Broadway shows and Little Italy for dinner. You have been a great friend and I will always treasure all the good times we shared and reminisced about over the years. May you now rest in peace and have eternal life without pain and suffering and have eternal happiness for the remainder of time.
Johnny, we loved you so very much and it is such a pleasure to have known you both professionally and personally for all the years we were together.

John was a joy to be around and was always happy to be with people. I so enjoyed his Labor Day parties at Bridget's house. The food and drinks were non stop and his fire pit was awesome. We shared a common interest in the Yankees and old television shows, especially "The Honeymooners." John was just like his last name, which means generous in Italian. Rest in peace John. We will always miss you. Ron Clericuzio-Cranford, N.J.

John,
I'll always remember your big mustache and easy going ways. No problem ever rattled you and I never heard you raise your voice. You were just pleasure to be with. I raise a glass to our days as data analysts in Parsippany during the 70's.
Bless you bro.

Generoso, My Paisan, My Friend,
I miss that I'll never see you again in this world, or enjoy your delightful, hilarious presence as we joked and cajoled at TGIF when you visited TRW in Orange,CA.
Keep a place for me, and all your other friends, at that PUB in heaven. We will all be there soon to catch up.
I miss you John, Brother.
Always your Friend,
