Our sincere condolences Marie, to you and your family. It is with heavy heart and disbelief we say goodbye to John the Cop our dear SPBC friend and cabana neighbor. Since the first day our family joined the club, John would always greet us with a warm smile and a thumbs up whenever we asked how things were going. Life was good and continued to be good at the beach as long as he was there everyday with his wife, his kids, grandchildren, friends, and paddleball buddies. Our fondest memory of John will always be of him standing in the BBQ man pit behind his "Cadillac" size of a grill, waving his spatula In defense of his fellow grill masters, saying No chicks allowed whenever a woman DARE ENTERED THE PIT. He got a real kick out of saying that and to this day I (a chick) still stand on the other side of the fence whenever the guys are grilling back there. Until we meet again, John, may god keep you and your family safe and in his care. With fond and enduring memories, Donna, Chris, and Christina Karkouta, cabana A-27

John was a devoted and loyal friend. We worked together on many assignments at the Intelligence Division and got to know each other real well. He was proud of his family and also proud to be an NYPD Detective. He was a great guy to have as a partner and was truly one of the FINEST. I will miss him.
