I am very sorry to hear of John's passing. We were fellow hockey players at Holderness school. We spent alot of time on the rink playing the sport we loved. I send my warmest sympathy to all of the Mossman family.

I was a classmate of John's at Holderness School. We've just now heard of his passing. John was what we'd call "a good man". We missed him at the 50th Reunion last October, and we'll miss him more now. We send your family our warmest regards.

Dear Stephanie, Jay and Chris, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of a wonderful husband and father. As parents you both were pivotal to my family as my sons grew up with John's influence and smile. Am sorry for you in your loss.

What a super guy and friend.He made his many visits to Raytheon, a highlight of my day. My son Matt and I will never forget the Bruins games and the thrill of sitting up in the "Press" area.I'm truly sorry I did not see or talk to John during the past year,but, I thought of him often and asked about him when his coworkers came to Raytheon.
The Farrell Family sends their love and sympathy to the Mossman Family.
Always a friend,
Herb Farrell

Rest in peace Mr. Mossman. We are so sorry to hear of your loss Chris, Jay, Mrs. Mossman. Your Dad was a great guy. So quiet at times, but so much to say at others. His interest in the outdoors had a large impact on Pete and I growing up. I don't think we would have done half the things we've done with out his influence on all of us. Take care.

Stephanie.. I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. He was a good friend. I'll miss the conversations we used to have when I was out walking the dogs.. what would start out as a short walk would end up being a short walk and a long talk.
Rest easy John.. you fought the good fight, and you will be missed...

Sorry to read about John's passing.John was a very nice person and a true gentleman. I had the privilege of working with John in the press box at the Bruins home games when I was an intern there. He would often give me rides to the train station in Weston to get my car so I could get home earlier after games. It was always a pleasure being around John.
