John D'Emidio

His granddaughter, Abigail is my best friend, she's sitting next to me in class as I type this.

John was my twin cousin. Born the same day and three minutes apart !! So many memories as kids visiting them in Virginia and when they all came to New Jersey to stay with us. !! So much fun we had The whole family together. It´s a Special thing !!!! John u will never be forgotten in my life. Every birthday we had together no matter where you were we would wish to each other. Watch over all of us John

JOHN as we approach your one year anniversary I just want to let you know. I have a mess for you at my church on Saturday morning at 9 AM. Miss you a lot and say a prayer for you every night and for Susan

John you will be missed by me your twin cousin from New Jersey. I have so many memories of you and I growing up here in New Jersey or Virginia or wherever you may have been living in the summers. I don´t even know where to start to be able to share all these memories but you always were by my side when we grew up and never went anywhere without me when we were together, when we were kids, we had a special bond because we were both born at the same time the same day the same year only you in Spain and me here in the US even with the time difference it was the same exact time you´ve left us way too early in life but you´re never gonna be forgotten just missed dearly my heart and soul is thinking of Susan and your children and your brothers. You´re truly gonna be missed by me John that´s for sure. I love you my dear twin cousin.

Dearest Susan, so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers and a special hug.

You will be missed, my friend. You touched many with your kind words and ways of working.

It is almost incomprehensible that John has left us so young. He fought this battle with courage and confidence. Sadly, it was not enough. My last conversation with John he told me "when I get better. I´m coming up to Newark New Jersey and having the biggest steak at Iberia". When the cousins from New Jersey went down to Virginia to visit he always instructed us to bring bread from Calandras bakery. Not five loaves or 10 loaves. He wanted 20 loaves. I will surely miss him.

There are too many good times to mention...Halloween parties, New Year's Eve at my house, Egypt, Spain, Virginia, Rhode Island, Michigan, Ohio, etc. I will miss you Cuz!

John and I worked together at NVB. When I first started there he was very helpful in showing me around. His warm nature and honesty always made me feel welcome. I am saddened to hear of his passing.
I will always remember John well.
What a great celebration of life this will be.

My sincere condolences to the family. Whenever I think of John the smile you see above is what I remember. He was always smiling and happy! A bit of mischief in that smile as well. So sorry for your loss. Praying for your peace and comfort during this time.

JD, was a great racquetball player and it was always good to have him on your team cause of his desire to win. Knowing him since around 2008, we got know each other well through many hundreds of competitive games, and our time sitting on the benches having conversations about our lives and famalies, waiting to play again. Those were some really good times when you look back on them. He amazed me how he could speak spanish to Luis and German when they were on the court. The racquetball group is very sad of losing one of our teamates. JD was always the first to send me a message during holidays and special events, which always touched me and my family. He always greeted you with "what's happening dude", and would always fist bump everyone when it was time for him to leave. It's still hard to fathom he's no longer here to play with us, but rest assured, his memory always will be. We love you JD.

I´ve known JD for 37 years and he hired me at NVB. It was clear to me early on that he was a great guy to be around. He loved life and always found the positive approach in anything he did. I still remember us sitting in his office laughing until we cried . When he married Susan that completed his life and he was so happy. He will be missed by all and may he rest in peace. A life well lived. Mike Clary
