We will always have many great memories of Uncle John and his big voice, big laugh, and ever present smile. I was fortunate enough to be the ring bearer at his and Aunt Jean's wedding. When John first came home from the Navy he stayed at my parents house for a while which was great fun for me. I remember his beautiful turquoise and white '55 BelAir. And I remember the picture of him on the deck of the USS Sullivan Saluting the flag wearing a white t-shirt with a big shamrock on it, that was in the newspaper. Love you Uncle John, rest in peace.

Our condolences to John Patrick's family. I worked with John and went to many away trips to NYC for SU football and Yankee and Mets games with Ange Caruso and Pete Carnrite. I remember the first time driving down to NYC to a Yankee game and going to Mama Leone's. He was a good friend and we will miss him.
