John will be missed by many. He was such a great person...friendly, funny, and caring. He hired me at Implex in 2003, and I can honestly say he was the best boss I had ever had. I never minded going into work because of that. My prayers are with the family and may John Rest in Peace.

I was so sad to hear about John. I worked with him at Bradlees in the mid 1980's. He was one of the nicest guys I have ever met and I only have wonderful memories of the great times we had together.

John, you will be missed. I had not been in touch with you for many years now, but I have great memories of working with you at Bradlees in Ramsey NJ, in 1984-1985. We had so many great times. You were a fun, and caring guy, and a good friend to everyone you knew.
One of my favorite memories of you was your Car, and how proud you were of all of it's "Electric Powered Features". You had a smile that Beamed when you showed it to me.
Rest in Peace John, my thoughts and Prayers are with you, and your family.

I worked with John many years ago at Osteonics. He was always the one to greet you with a smile, a funny story, good joke or just a pleasant disposition. My memories of good times with a good friend will continue to keep John's spirit alive in my heart. I send my deepest sympathy and offer my prayers of love and support.

My memories of Johnny are all wonderful, he was a very bright young man and once you knew him you fell under his spell. I worked with Johnny in Bradlees and then brought him to Osteonics. I don't know why God took him so young but we will find out whe our time comes. My Thoughts and Prayes are With You All.
Most Sincerely,
Caren Bonadies
