Dr. John Anthony "Doc" Santarelli

Aunt Eleonore, Gail and Lori,
I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle John was such a great man. He was an inspiration to me. Some of my best memories were the summers I spent with all of you in Barnesboro when I was a kid. One of the best lessons Uncle John taught me during that time was responsibility. I guess Heaven needed a great Optometrist and Johnny needed some help. My thoughts are with you all. Love Gary, Allie, and Nick.

Gail, I am so sorry for your loss. I offer you my sincere condolences to you and your family. I know how very much you loved your father and I hope you gain solace knowing he is in a better place.

Lori and Family,

Please accept the deepest sympathy of your friends from Leadership Frederick County.

My dearest family...My thoughts are tear filled as I remember all the cherished memories I hold close to my heart of my wonderful Uncle John. I loved him as a father.

Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. We love you all so very much...John, Melanie, Erik, Sarah and Madison.

Gail and Family,
I wish to express my heartfelt condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Gail, It was indeed an honor to have known your father if only for a short time. His humor and love and caring were who he was and will always be in our memories. I love you. Mrs. S - thank you for letting me walk with you on this part of the journey. My love and respect to all of the family. Lori and girls - thank you for letting me be part of your BIG extended family. Judy Knauf

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Your sudden lose is heaven's gain. I was a patient early in life. and always appreciated his interest in how I felt about glasses and vision, but much more. He gave me something to think about whenever I
left the appointment, something that made me a better person. I always felt so badly that your family has suffered loss before this too.
God bless you all and be comforted that his memory will live on in more ways that you will never know.

Lori and Family
Please except our deepest sympathies.
Tony, Cheryl, Lauren, Allie and Rex Bennett
