To Rose and all of the Kids:



We traveled many miles together . . .and we experienced all of you including Sal and know first hand what a loss this is to the family. Johnny had a big heart and he was always genuine when engaged with you while curiously asking questions and waiting for your response. Not unlike all of the kids, a keen intellect – a result of wonderful parents.



Sorry we could not attend the ceremony to honor one of the good guys – we are with you and send well wishes in this difficult time. We look forward to speaking with each of you at some time in the near future.



Peace and Love to all of you,

Jerry and Sue

I have fond memories of John from our days together at St. Monica's Grammar School. We laughed, played soccer together, and had a genuinely good time back in the '60s.



We also had some good times at St. Ignatius, where John was well-liked for his bubbly personality and good-natured attitude.



May the Sancimino Family be blessed with warm memories of John.



Fondly,
