"Gone but not forgotten"

Gone but not forgotten.

Truly sorry to learn of John's passing. Know he is with his Heavenly Farther safe. Knowing John who always has a joke and his infectious smile is having a great time telling all his tales. Always so interesting too.

I worked in Special Education Administration office. John was a great Special Education teacher and had big heart for his students, as much as they loved him too.
We lost our Special Ed Director who passed away. John just stepped in and handled administration job, as well as,teaching every day till found a replacement. Tells alot about man John was.

My sympathies to Mariann,and his family. Holding you all in my prayers for grace, mercy and comfort during this difficult time of your great loss.

John,rest in eternal peace.

Marianne and family, so sorry for your loss. We worked with John at Perkins School for the Blind. We enjoyed his sense of humor and noted his caring approach to the students. May the love of family and friends help you through your sorrow. God bless you all. Margaret & Normand

One of the best at Maynard High. He made life better for so many kids. Especially those that had no one to care for them. Truly a great man.

To Marianne,

I send my deepest condolences to you, Amanda, Laura and the entire family at this time of sorrow and loss. I will forever cherish the day my husband and I visited with you and Johnny in West Yarmouth several years ago. I also recall all the great "Marianne and Johnny" stories told in rm 005and smile . My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. May you know God's comfort and peace.

We are so sad to hear of Johns passing. We will cherish our memories of funny chats with him on Baker Road. And we will miss those eye-rolling moments when John would ask Bud, the cranberry grower, do you know how many cranberries there are in a bottle of cranberry juice? Here's to you, John, as we toast with some of that very juice! Love, Bud & Linda

My deepest condolences to Marianne, Amanda, Laura and the rest of the Sforza family. I will always remember John as a person with a great sense of humor, a kind, warm soul. Rest in Peace my friend.

John and I worked together for 21 years and we never had a disagreement. He was a wonderful person to work with. I am so sorry for your loss.

So sad and sorry to hear about Johnny's passing. What a tremendous loss. Johnny was one of the good guys, so kind to my son and Johnny always made me laugh. My very deepest, heartfelt sympathy.

To Marianne, Amanda, Laura and the rest of John's family,

I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. our prayers are with you.

John was a wonderful friend to me since we began working together in Maynard over forty years ago. Well known for his kindness to others and of course his unique sense of humor, he was always fun to be with, whether at a SPED department meeting or at some god-awful PDP program. John was even more fun to hang out with after hours, at infamous establishments such as The Rusty Scupper, The 117 house, Alphonse's Powdermill, anywhere along Maynard's Main St. or wherever his many friends and amigos were gathering. Even with the wonderful personal memories of John that so many friends and family members have, his loss is a great sadness for all who knew him.

How I wish I could hear that Henny Youngman story one more time. Rest in peace, my friend.

Mr Sforza you were one of a kind, you were always there for anyone that needed help. You were a great mentor to me and I will always remember that and your ties,jokes but always your smile. Rest in peace.

I remember Mr. Sforza from high school. Particularly, his endless jokes and extensive tie collection. He made me laugh and always seemed like a happy guy. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Thinking of you all during this sad time.

I had Mr. Sforza for many years as a teacher and always encouraged me with such great energy and a big smile. My thoughts are with his loved ones.

The only way to correctly honor Johnny is to make a nonstop series of bad jokes, bad jokes, but good enough that you just can't stop laughing at the jokes, or were you laughing at him, or were you laughing because you didn't know what else to do because he just couldn't stop himself from letting those jokes keep coming at you, and then you were crying, tears of joy that he finally relented, if even for a moment...Say hi to Dad Johnny! RIP. Thanks for all the love you gave me growing up!!!

And to all the Sforza ladies, my heart and thoughts are with you. I know what it is to lose your Dad, and to see your Mom lose her husband. So hard. I really feel for you all so much!

To to the Sforza family,
I was saddened to hear of John's passing. Please know your are in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. He was one of a kind. May he R.I.P.

Johnny was one of the most unique people you would ever meet. He was hilarious and had a million jokes off the top of his head and wasn't ashamed to repeat them over and over again. We will all miss his humour and fun loving personality. Condolences to Marianne, Amanda and Laura and his entire family.
