I met John about 35 years ago through his brother Eddie. At the time I was only 7 years old but i do remember him being a real jokster. I am so so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this very difficult time.

I had the pleasure of meeting John in college. We soon became lifelong friends and stayed in touch throughout. From all at Columbia College that can't attend - you will be missed Jersey.

I have known John for 10 years and have found him to be an honest and fair man. I will miss his humor and friendship.

Worked with John for 2 years while I managed the plaza around Rockaway Mall for Simon. Always enjoyed his company, drive, and wit.

My sympathy to his entire family.
