I only heard about this 10 minutes ago! I'm so sorry to everyone close to him. He was a really good and giving friend! It's strange because he popped into my thoughts often over the last 5 days, and I thought of stopping in the pub for the game on sunday. I guess it's better I didn't. So sorry I missed his wake and I hope somehow he knows that. I will miss!

We went back many years and reconnected again a few years ago when I moved back to Oceanside. Johnny always had a smile on his face, so glad to see you. I enjoyed our talks and will truly miss your smiling face, you were such a good soul... RIP

I met John many years ago (over 20) when my Mom and I frequented the restaurant for lunch. John and my Mom would talk recipes and he would always spend time with us and greet us with kindness and smiles. I then found that John and I shared many mutual friends and we became closer. John was so sincere and caring when I told him that I lost my Mom a few years ago, and he has always held a special place in my heart. I am shocked and deeply saddened by his passing. My heart breaks for his Mom and Scott. I wish there were words to take away the pain. John will be sorely missed and remembered with love.

Norma and Scott, so very sorry for your loss. John will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
