I'm very saddened to learn of John's passing. A very, very bright man whom I had a lot of respect for....and he sure knew how to tailgate a Pats game!

I have known and done business with John for the last 14 years. We had many great conversations about business and his beloved Patriots. He was one of a kind and will be truly missed. My deepest sympathies to his family and the crew at CCC.

I've know John around 15-20 years. We use to compete sometimes at corvettes shows. He always beat me and I enjoy it because he was a great guy. I remember many a nights at Carlisle enjoying a few beers and talking cars. I will truly miss him and proud to say he was my friend.

I knew John for the last 20 years as a friend and business partner. He was a great guy, always laughing and full of fun. He knew his stuff, was easy to work with and always straight, honest and to the point.

He's going to be missed. Go PATS!!!

Worked with John for years as one of the sheetmetal vendors he painted for -- one of the few people I have dealt with over the years who seemed to take the crazy ups and downs of this business in stride, we also enjoyed talking computer games once and awhile. John will be missed, he was a very decent person. Ken

My husband and I met John as new members of Corvettes United. He took us under his wing and taught us how to detail and show cars. We credit all the trophies we have one over the years to him. He was such a great guy with a wonderful smile. Our sincere sympathy goes to your family.
