John, it´s been almost 14 years since you left us behind on this earth. You were always a friend who would help anyone if they needed it. I´ll always cherish the time spent with you. What´s the birthday theme gonna be this year? The cowboy theme was so much fun that year. Love and miss you my friend.

It's Christmas Eve again and even tho we were all together you were so sadly missed. The kids are getting so big but they still marvel at the magic of Christmas. Even tho you were not there in person, your presence is always strongly felt on everyone's favorite holiday. I hope you are at least with family and friends and you are all celebrating this holiday you loved so much. Merry Christmas my love!
Love, Peg

Just wanted to let you know that Julie's Papa joined you and all the other angels in heaven. I know how much you enjoyed chatting with him and I thought you would want to know that you can chat with him again and keep an eye on Chloe together.
I love and miss you so much

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE!!!! I was watching TV last night and I heard our wedding song. It certainly brought me back, and reminded me again of how much I love and miss you, especially on these special days.
Well, enjoy your special day with all your friends and family but know that we would much rather be spending it with you down here. Take care my love, and again, HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Love Forever,

Good Morning Hon! Well, here it is again. The hardest day of the year for me. The family always gets together on Christmas Eve and you were always home to share the joy. Hopefully you are able to be here in spirit so you can give me the strength to get through it.
I love you and miss you so very much, especially today. I hope to feel your presence tonight, here with the rest of us.

John,
I'm sure you probably know this but Father Levesque joined you this morning and I wanted to make sure that you are there to greet him. He was such a special person in our lives and although sometimes gruff, he was a dear and generous soul. My hope is that you will be close in Heaven as we know that's where you both are and will always be.
Love,
Peg

Hello Love,
Your headstone is finally here! I think the portrait came out great but you would absolutely love the Boston Red Sox hat on the back! I am just so relieved your grave is finally marked and marked with the beauty and finesse you were so worthy of. I can now leave a kiss on your lips every time I go and that gives me the greatest peace. I hope you can see the stone and that you like it as much as we do. I Love You!
Forever,
Peg

Hi,
Its me again! Just wanted to say Happy Easter! We missed you when coloring eggs but your brother was here and enjoyed helping the kids color them. It just wasn"t the same. You always enjoyed it so much ane we enjoyed watching you. Your stone should be in this week so I will let you know when it gets here (as it you wouldn't know). Again, Happy Easter!
Love,
Peg

John,
I can not believe you have been gone a whole year! Everyone says "life goes on" and it has, but it will NEVER be the same. One year ago this morning was the hardest thing I have ever had to endure and getting through each day after has been a constant struggle without you.
I love and miss you so much although there have been so many times I have felt your presence here especially when I have needed you the most. Please continue to help me through as your presence comforts me so.
Give Joey a big hug for me and tell him I miss him so much too.
I love you both more than ever!
Love,
Peg

Hello My Love,
Well it's another special day without you. Today will be a tough one because it was only special to you and me. We would be celebrating 29 years today, but instead you are gone and I am hurting. Even though you are not here I love you more than ever. Happy Anniversary Love!
Love,

John,
I can't believe it has been one year since you walked out of our home for the last time. In just 2 months and 4 days you will be gone a whole year. Sometimes it seems like forever and yet sometimes it seems like yesterday. Either way, it hasn't gotten any easier. I love you.

Well, today is Christmas Eve. This will be the hardest day by far. You sometimes missed birthdays, Thanksgiving, Easter and would even go to work on Christmas Day, but you NEVER missed a Christmas Eve. It was the one day we all spent together. Please help me through this one, I will really need it. I love and miss you so much my love. Merry Christmas Eve! Love, Peg
November 25, 2010
Good Morning Love,
It's Thanksgiving. Although you were usually on the road it had become a kind of tradition to bring you dinner at school during the night while we were out shopping for Black Friday. Another thing I will miss! Happy Thanksgiving My Love! I Love You! Peg
October 23, 2010
John,
I can't believe you've been gone for 6 months. I miss you more than ever! I often wonder if being without you will ever get easier but don't see it happening. I just feel like I have been numb for the past 6 months, I don't know where the time has gone. My only strength comes from hoping you are happy and at peace with our family and friends and that someday I will be with you. I love you! Peg
October 11, 2010
Hello My Love,
Yesterday was my birthday and I can't even begin to tell you how much I missed that early morning phone call that had come for the past 28 years with you singing "Happy Birthday" to me and the card with "wifey" on the envelope, signed "your loving hubby" and stuffed with lottery tickets inside. You were a creature of habit! This hasn't gotten any easier, especially on those special days. I love and miss you so much! Peg

Dad,
You were there with tears in your eyes for my first breath, I was there with tears in my eyes for your last, and the many tears we shared over the last 27 years between the good, bad, happy and sad the memories will never be forgotten. People were lucky to even know you let alone have you care about them,and im one of the luckiest because I got to call you DAD!. With your wise words and gentle ways your legacy will always live on in the hearts of Rhyker Robert and I, never to be forgotten. We are who we are because you loved us. Thank You!
Love you always,
Jill
P.S Happy Birthday I love you.

Dad, I asked Rhyker what he wanted to tell you and that is what he said. I see so much of you in him everyday. Between the looks and actions there is no denying who his grampy is. He misses you so much and talks about you daily. He will never forget you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE! I miss you more than anyone could ever know. I know you were so looking forward to turning 70 and you almost made it! It is such a sad day for me but then again, every day since you have been gone has been a sad day. The tears have not subsided or even lessened like I had been told they would and the pain just gets worse instead of better. I am going to try to bring you flowers today for your birthday but I'm not sure if I can do it yet. Please forgive me if I don't make it, as much as I love you, the thought of visiting you there just hurts so bad.
I love you and miss you not just today but always. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Love Always, Wifey

I will greatly miss my friend John. Whenever he would walk into a room, his smile and laughter would brighten up the place. Our talks about work, our children, the Red Sox, anything that came to mind, it was always a pleasure to be around him. It's sad to say goodbye to a friend whose life touched so many people. He was a friend to everyone, he will be greatly missed.

Peggy, Jill, Charlie,
It's very rare in life that you meet a man that was so well liked and respected by so many people. John was a true professional and I had the great pleasure to work with him for the last 20 years. John loved to drive the big rig and we loved that he drove for us for so long. He was first class stand up guy and we will miss him very much. I will personally miss his laugh and his smile and our chats about the Red Sox. John was a very good man and I feel lucky I got to know him. I will miss him as will all who had the pleasure of knowing John during his Quality Carrier 45 year career.

To The Sydor Family,
In my pocket
I have memories in my pocket
They rattle among the change
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go
They are stored in bits and pieces,
parts of a wonderful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone
Yes I have memories in my pocket,like so much other stuff I carry there
But of all the treasures I have it's the memories of you that are the most precious.
John was a good friend and will be sorely missed.

You meant so much to all of us
you were special and that's no lie
you brightened up the darkest day
and even the greyest sky
Many tears I have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now
Cause your no longer in pain.
Four years on I remember you
And what you used to say
You made each of us smile
And live to the fullest each day
They say in time it gets easier
I believe this isn’t true
Because even after all this time
I still don’t have a clue
I was not ready to say goodbye
Your disease just over took
So on this day we remember you
I take a second look
Our friendship is forever
Until death, did we part
Although your away physically
You’re always in my heart

John, my friend...
"I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I'll never part. God has you in His arms. I have you in my heart."
Peggy, Jill & Charlie,
Try to take comfort in knowing that John is in God's arms now, and not having to face his illnesses any longer here on earth. He will always remain in our hearts and thoughts. Memories have been made, and will be kept and cherished forever.
I pray God wraps his arms around each of you and help you get through your time of sorrow.
Love always,

To the entire Sydor Family-
What a beautiful photo!
I will always remember Mr. Sydor. John was truly an amazing person and a family man. I will never forget the family vacations to white river junction and "catching the bumps" when he arrived home from work with his truck. John was a wonderful person that i will never forget. He will be remembered in my heart forever. May you rest in peace Mr. Sydor.
Love,
