I´m so sorry to hear of John´s passing. We were friends and colleagues years ago, and he was truly one of the most gifted people I´ve ever known- a true artisan. Also one of the funniest- a fantastic sense of humor. My utmost condolences to his family.. he will always be remembered.

So sorry to hear that John passed. Arthur Bompane just informed me. So sad. I got to know John very well when I stayed with Marilyn and Arthur Bompane in Teaneck, NJ. What a great soul. I feel honored to have know him. He will definitely be missed

We are so sorry to hear of John´s passing.
I will always remember John for his great intellect . His fervent reading made him knowledgeable of so much. We went to Maine in a mobile home and had many belly laughs.. especially when it was Scotty´s turn to empty the waste. And how could we forget the memorable trips he took with Scotty and Eugene. Skiing, white water rafting and I believe canoeing down the Passaic River & capsizing only to have to be rescued I will never forget all he built in his house for his cats . John was one of a kind, but a very special one of a kind. You are now joined with Billy and Eugene and we miss all of you. But Will will never forget our special memories . Give your Mom a big hug from us. RIP John. May your name only bring good memories our way.
Scotty and Diane
