Kenneth P Cassola....West Peabody, Mass. John and I were at Osan Air base together, 36th Tac. Ftr. Sq. 1972-73. We bunked together for that time. We became quite close.
We remained in touch through the years. I got to meet his son Alex years back when he came to vist. I will forever have a void in my heart for John as my friend. I will miss him. My sincere condolences to the family and friends of John. May he RIP bless him

John was truly a inspiration to many here during his years at Cablevision.
His kindness and thoughtful ways have been and will be missed.
John was also my neighbor several years, and again we were grateful for his company and goodwill.
