John D. Bonello

Miss you still Uncle John. One of my favorite memories is when I would call the house and Uncle John would answer, I would ask if Auntie Tess was around and he would respond "Yes she is, she is round all right" and I would giggle each time. He had the best jokes. See you on the other side one day, Love Natalie

Dad, almost a year, and I can't quite come to terms with the fact you are gone. Nor do I think I want to.
I still talk to you, think about you, and beg that if there is ANY WAY we could have you back ... that we will.
I know that is selfish of me, I know you watch over us and are now out of pain.
I love you so much, I miss you so much it hurts.
Rita

It will be one year since you left us. I think of you often. Sometimes I smile and some times I cry thinking of fond memories. Still missing you Uncle John. Love your niece Natalie

Dad I am SO PROUD of you, and appreciate the gift of my faith that I will one day be with you again in Heaven.
I love you Dad, and miss you greatly.
Eulogy for my Dad.
Eulogy for Dad- John D. Bonello

"Well you’re all looking good today". This is one of my Dad’s favourite greetings.
John Bonello was a man that greeted us all with a smile, a joke and a warm welcome.
He was a good friend to many of us, Uncle to over 30 nieces and nephews, loving Husband and friend of my Mom, Grandfather to eight and father of three. I have the honour and privilege of calling him Dad
As a little girl sitting on my Dad’s lap I always felt so safe and protected. I can remember going with Dad to pick up some panelling to use in finishing our 70’s basement equipped with a mirrored bar and multi coloured lights. The panelling was strapped to the roof of our station wagon, on the way home a surprise storm hit. Dad had tied the paneling down, but the wind and rain caused a tie to come loose Dad held the paneling down with one arm out the window while he was driving. I sat there beside him in the front seat watching him. Never scared, always knowing my Dad would never let ANYTHING bad happen to me. The whole drive back he never winced as the wood rubbed against his arm. He even managed to look over at me and smile. He was my superman, he’s my Hero
As a teenager - I knew everything. ? During that time my Dad and I didn’t quite see eye to eye ... but I eventually grew up and realized how little I actually knew. Dad and I grew to respect each other and even became confidants.
Now a parent I marvel at how Dad handled situations... often wondering how did he know what to say and do. I can remember being a young teen; I had hid a pack of cigarettes in my purse in my bedroom closet. I russelled around looking for them... they were gone. No doubt Mom found them while doing her daily cleaning. Eventually I gave up looking and walked out of my room down the hall past my Dad’s office. As I did he called me in... Dad very casually asked me “what are you looking for.?”... I replied “nothing”. Then Dad opened his top desk drawer exposing my cigarettes and asked me “were you looking for these?” “Oh NO DAD they’re not mine”. He smiled at me and said “I didn’t think so... that’s why I took them”. ... He never brought it up again.
Dad loved and loves the Lord our GOD and I know he is up there enjoying a great reunion.
Dad... Thank you for SO MANY wonderful memories, you will always be remembered and I will always Celebrate you... My Father, My Dad and My PAPA SHMAPPA. DAD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

Would you please forward this to Jennifer & Chris Headon.
Jen, I was so sorry to read of your father's passisng. My heart goes out to you and your family. I'm also sorry it took me so long to send this e-mail.
I have thought of you often. Hope you are well. Mavis Reilly

Uncle John ( and auntie Tessie ) was very kind to me. He was very funny and very quiet. It is very sad that he died. I only met him once when he was sick, but I think he's one of the kindest people I have ever met.
With Love

Uncle John was my Godfather, and my Sponsor for Confirmation. He lived so close by and I would always run to him when something went wrong, or when something went right - the first in my family to meet my future wife, 30 years ago now. Along with auntie Tess, John was my backbone. So many funny things we shared across the kitchen table, a man of great insight and enormous intellect and generosity.
He brought us all together, and his basement was the location for many raucous family gatherings. He had this same spirit to the end of his life, and I miss him. With Love

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bonello family.

Please accept our deepest sympathy in the loss of such a wonderful person. I had great admiration towards John. John loved life, his family, was very intellectual and had such a healthy good sense of humour.

John, you will be greatly missed, but will find comfort in reminiscing fond memories of you. Always in our heart and prayers.
