Dear Marie and family, I had the great fortune of knowing John for over 40 years. He was the college roommate and good friend of my (now deceased) step-father, Tony Q. I fondly remember John & Marie attending my high school graduation party in 1969 and my teaching John how to "Polka" in our family basement. He was a wonderful and kind person and will be sadly missed by all. My prayers are with you all.

To the De Libera family I want to express my deepest sympathy at the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. I knew John for just a few years and during that time I realized he was such a gentleman, with a smile and with kind words to all. We will miss him at the McConnell Center. Bea Quaranta

Dear De Libera Familiy,
I was so sad to hear about Mr. De Libera. I feel lucky to have known such a wonderful man. I treasure the memories of our St. Agatha days: Barbie play dates and the infamous RV road trips together as they always bring me a smile. The world has lost a special man. He will certainly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I did not formally know John even though i felt like i did! He was loved by my parents and sister- Tommy and Carla Piolata and Maria Milligan. He was so generous to help them out. I know that they loved meeting with him. He was talked about many times in our family dinners of what a great guy he was. Again I am so sorry. My prayers are with him and to all of you.

I will miss John's cheerful and upbeat greeting. One of the sayings I remember about him was his saying "As we get older we have to depend more on our Haberdasher", and how he loved the MCL. He will be missed greatly at the McConnell Heart Health Center.
