I worked with John on the police department for a short time before he retired. What I remember about John was not only his great sense of humor but also that he was always willing to teach a young officer how to do the job properly and safely. May God bless John and his family

John will be missed by all that knew him as we did. He always had a joke to share, he was fun to travel with and was a good sport and went along with the gang if we were playing a joke. (Always in fun)
John was planning a reunion for all the members of the Palm Beach West Lodge that we all belonged to at one time.
We will miss you - Rest in Peace

Dear family, I remember John as a young police officer back in the hometown of Irvington. My late husband James was on the department at that time also. He was always "upbeat and joyous of heart". We shared a few chats now and then. I know he enjoyed being with people and his spirit of love will always be remembered. His family was something he was proud of. He will be sorely missed. May you be comforted in knowing he's with our Lord.
