I always remember seeing Mr Waller around and thinking he was such a strong tall man, definitely from all his years as a bricklayer. Very nice man. Sorry for your loss loss. There are a whole bunch of St. Barnabas parents together in heaven. I hope they don´t start comparing notes on all our shenanigans throughout our years together. Hugs to all of you.

I remember John always smiling, with a zest for life, and a gentle nature.
We all moved to the block at the same time, been neighbors until now. You will be missed, Godspeed my friend
P.S. give my sister a hug when you see her on the otherside.

My first memory of John was gathering around a table at reserved dining and meeting both John and his beautiful wife Mary Beth. From there many meals, great desserts, pizza, fun, laughter, wine and so much more. His smile in the obituary pic says it all. Thank you John for your service to our country, community, friends and loyalty to those you loved so deeply. You will be missed!
