Rest peacefully cousin John. We all have such great memories growing up. Aunt Sophie and Uncle Cecil's house at 500 Farnum was a wonderful place to be. Lots of gatherings with family especially at the holidays. We also remember all the trips to New Jersey to see our family there. Priceless memories. Brigantine was another amazing memory. Your contagious smile when you walked in with McMillans doughnuts. We love you very much!!!

Love cousin Chris

John and I were school mates through our years at Penncrest and good friends long after our school years. I remember John and his many, many cars & trucks and his dedication to his electrical profession was always perfection.
I have fond memories of John and our gang at my parents summer picnics. Many memories of our guy's little group weekly get togethers late on Friday nights at the Riddle Ale House, lots of good times with his infectious laugh. John always had a smile and, of course, his hearty laugh. Oh the memories. We all shall miss you buddy. You are at rest now with Barb & Gregory.

I knew John for many years. He was friends with my older sisters, Nancy and Betsy, and consequently, I became friends with John. He did some electrical work at my home and was very much a perfectionist. I used to run into him a lot at the Acme and at Pinocchio's. He had such a nice smile and I always enjoyed talking to him. I am sorry for his passing and will miss seeing him around Media. May John rest in peace now that he is reunited with Barbara and Michael.

Sorry to hear of John´s passing. I used to sit in study hall and talk about cars with him. I teased him about not letting anyone sit in the back seat of his car and not allowing anybody to use the cigarette lighter. We had lots of laughs. Rest in peace John.
