I can't believe it's been 8 years since John's passing. He was a great friend and co worker and I still hold the good memories of him close to my heart. All the best to his family and I will keep him in my prayers.

My wish is that John rests in peace. I remember John when he was a teacher at St James School (and I worked there) he was the type of teacher that every mother wishes her child could have. (Unfortunately, he retired the year before my son would have been I his class. He will be missed by all who ever had any contact with him.

Dear Chris and family, my deepest sympathy at John's passing. He was my very first teacher buddy, so many years ago at St James, and I will never forget those fun times with John and Lyn O. The kids always loved him and I am sure they all still recall him very fondly as one of their earliest and favorite role models. Well done, big guy... rest peacefully.

Dear Chris and family, I worked with John at Saint James in Totowa for many years. He taught 6th and I taught 3rd. He was a wonderful teacher and friend. I will never forget John, Phil and myself having so much fun working together and the crazy things we used to do. We were like the 3 musketeers. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Chris, I want to express my deepest sympathy to you and your family. My fondest memories growing up were of times spent with you and John walking to St. George School, Circle Ave. park, CYO softball and watching the boys play football on Sunday afternoons. You hold a special place in my heart. You and John have always been in my prayers and I will continue to pray for you. " One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple. For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover up his tent, he will set me high upon a rock. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy, I will sing and make melody to the Lord." Psalm 27:4-6

Dear Chris and family, I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. Most of my college memories always contain stories with John playing an important role. He was an amazing human being, good friend, and always had us laughing. After all, how many guys in college get baby showers to welcome their precious "Jake".

You have been a great younger cousin John. Your lovely wife,Christine has been a model to all as how to be a dedicated wife. I remember your wedding many years ago at St. George's Church and your boys growing up. And, how you battled your illness so bravely. John I am sure Mother Mary came to bring you to Heaven and were greeted by Our Lord Jesus because you suffered a purgatory here on earth. You are one more Saint in Heaven. I will always remember what a cute little Cow boy you were rocking on your Mom's rocking chair when you were so little. Great job with life. You are always in my prayers. I think of you so often. Your loving cousin, Liz aka Bizzy And, Thom will always remember your wink.
