I've looked up to John my entire life, and rightly so.
There's a line in Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea: "I must be worthy of the great DiMaggio who does all things perfectly." That's pretty much how I felt about my brother John.
It was always a gift to run into John and Bitsy at a Saltaire sunset.

It was always a gift to run into John and Bitsy at sunset. John was a quiet, intelligent, kind, thoughtful man. He is missed.

John was the epitome of a gentleman, as well as a devoted husband and wonderful father. He will be missed.

John was my roommate freshman year (Sept '61) at Holy Cross. Top floor in O'Kane. John was the Forrest Hills sophisticate -- I was the naive kid from Omaha. He sheparded me through freshman year. Introduced me to
New York and East Coast geography . He would put me under his wing, smile and guide my education.
Thank You -- JOHN

John was always pleasant. He was interested in things going on, And was usually interesting to talk to.

John was a good man, who did everything gracefully and well. But perhaps what he was best at was making those around him feel good about themselves. He will be missed – for who he was, and for what he did.
