He will be missed in so many ways and our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Mangini family. He left quite a legacy and we are grateful to have known him. We will miss him dearly.

Dear Shirley and Family-
I am so sad to hear of John's passing. But I smile when I think of him and remember the many impromptu conversations we had in the neighborhood . . . while walking the dog or strolling through the Center. He was always interested in what was happening in our lives and always had a story to share. He spoke with such love and affection for his family as he was clearly very proud of you all. May your many fond memories of him bring you peace in the days ahead.

To the Mangini Family - I was so saddened to hear of Mr. Mangini's passing. He has been a kind and fun presence in our neighborhood for as long as I can remember. It was always great to catch up with him when I was home and to hear all the Mangini family news. He was so genuine and friendly - a real gentleman and a great example of what it is to be a family man. I am sorry I am not there to attend the wake or funeral. You are all in my prayers. ~Liz
