To The Family of TJ
We were so sad to hear of John´s passing, but a bit of a silver lining that it happened in his paradise spot in Aruba.
I worked with TJ at LIMRA for many years and he was definitely a bright spot in this world. His signature handle bar mustache and his beautiful smile will resinate in our hearts forever.
He absolutely adored his family. He had beautiful pictures of his Nephews on his desk and always enjoyed sharing stories about them and his Sisters.
He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. Praying that God´s peace & comfort surround you all.
In deepest sympathy,
Bette Conlon

John was a very good person and a gentle soul. Always with a smile and never a cross word. Enjoyed playing LimRats softball with John always with a smile and never a complaint. Rest well.

John was a beautiful soul here on earth. I really enjoyed conversations with John when he worked at LIMRA. Fitting that he passed at his favorite place to be. My condolences to John´s family.
