I just watched the tribute to John on facebook. What a wonderful thing his brother did. It had to be hard for him to do this but it was so special. I know I sent you a previous message Carol but I just had to respond to that video. Prayers to all of you & remember you now have 2 angels looking down on you & giving you guidance.

It's so sad to hear someone so special has left this world so soon. Please know John was an awesome person all around. He always kept me smiling in his presence and even though we only knew each other for a short time, I have very fond memories of the times we did spend, which will stay with me forever. Stay strong and remember John will always be here in spirit. Keep looking up!

I hired John at Berrigan's just over 3 years ago. He was an amazing individual with a work ethic that is hardly seen anymore. Never a frown upon his face and always pleasant to be around. When my sister passed away two years ago, he took control of Berrigans and made sure things ran smoothly without hesitation. That was John's style. John is the type of person that all parents want to have, all businesses want to employ, everybody wants to be friends with, and everyone wants to be like. It was an honor to know him. My thoughts are with you and your family.
