Wanted to send condolences to the family. My husband Phil and I where friends with John and we all worked together at Kirk community center. John would come and cut all the meat for the lunches, we all had so much during those days.
Sincerely Julia Aiello .

Your ever present smile will be missed by so many people whose lives you touched. I will always cherish so many special memories. I still have to doll you gave me when I was a child and will pass it on to my Grandaughter so she will also have a part of you with her. Love you always Uncle Johnny...give Aunt Betty a hug from me when you see her.
