Johnny was a kind and generous boy who grew into a sensitive and caring man. He was especially sweet to my sister Jeanne, always greeting her warmly and getting down to eye level when he spoke to her in her wheelchair. My memories of Johnny often include a Broomall Little League uniform (was it the A's?), stick ball games in the street(until someone yelled, CAR!!), playing King of the Hill or sledding at our house, bike rides to the Tot Lot on our banana seat bikes and occasional long treks for Slurpees at 7-11. Thanks for being a special part of my childhood. You will be missed. Blessing to the entire family. With Love, Joanie Spiller Muth

Memories of Fairview Road and growing up came crashing over me when I heard of John's passing. Friends come and go but memories last a lifetime. John, you were my friend and will continue to be in my memories forever. Mr. Mac, Col, Pat, Kath and Mare...my heart goes out to you. Rest in peace, John.

My deepest condolences to Ben and the rest of the McElwee family. John was a true friend and though we did not see much of each other in recent years, he was often in my thoughts.
Generous beyond measure, he would easily give whatever was asked of him.
John's passions were camping and fishing. I consider myself lucky to have shared some of these experiences with him.
Rest in peace my friend.

John,you left too soon. Haven't seen you in awhile but always asked Kathy how you were. Still have a picture of you and me sitting on bikes on your back porch. We must of been about 7-8 years old. RIP old friend.

I'm so sorry for the loss of John. Even though I haven't see him in over 30 years my childhood memories of growing up with John will always be with me. We spent many a happy hour playing football and street hockey. John you will always be in my memories and heart. God speed .
