My how time flies, fourteen years. Have to wonder had you not had your health issues would you have retired from Disney? Would you be living closer to Tina and the grands, or Adam and Micki? So much wonder, but we do know you were liked and loved by many here on earth. We miss you every day.

The world will know you left footprints on this earth, now that part of you has a final resting place forever. Your friends and family will be able to visit and remember all the good times they had with you. Grandpa would be honored to know you are in there with him, and there is something from Gramma for each of you. I know your Mom is smiling knowing you are close to her now. With the Pictures...You and Gramps will always have your families with you. He would be proud of the large family he has now ...and you will have yours and Mickalina close to you too .

It has been two years and even though we all do our daily things, there are so many things that make us stop and think of you. Your grand-daughter is just beautiful, but you know that. I like to think your legacy is liviing on. We miss that you are not here with us and will never forget you.

One year ago we lost you and even though it was God's plan, it's still not an easy thing not having you here. I know I am just one of many who thought about you today. I found the pictures of the Peach Bowl in Atlanta going through my desk tonight. When Jerry and I looked at them we shared our many memories of you. It was comforting. We love and miss you a lot.

Well we made it through the first year. I'm sorry we didn't get to do all the things we talked about or get to go to the places we wanted to. God knew best and took you from us but he left a big void in our hearts that can never be filled. You were the son every father wanted and brought so much laughter into so many hearts. The friends you had and made still talk about you as if you were still here. Not a day goes by that Deb or I talk about you and how much your missed. You were taken from us way too soon but we know your much better where you are and don't have the pain you had to live with every day. I love you son and always will.

Dad,
It doesn't feel like it has been a year, It seems like only yesterday that I was able to talk to you and hear you laugh. But I know you are in a better place. I wish you could have been here to hold your granddaughter, But i know you must pop in from time to time to see her because every time she see's your picture she starts smiling and laughing. I know she may never get to meet you or get held by you, But she loves her grandpa none the less. We all miss you dad, I'm sure you already knew that though. I love you dad. And you will always be missed.
Love,
Adam

Johnny, today has been very hard. It was a year ago we had to say good-bye to you. Something we weren't prepared for. We still don't understand what God's plan was for you, but we know you are not suffering anymore. You are missed so much by everyone who loved you. We know you are up there looking out for all of us. You are our Guardian Angel. We love you and you will have a special place in our hearts forever. We wanted to share a few pictures of happier times.
We miss you buddy!
Love,
Aunt Claudia and Uncle Carl

It has almost been a year now that you have been gone and we all still talk about you every day. I so much miss the talks we use to have every day. Istill sit out on the porch in the morning and talk to you and wish you could answer me.I know you are in a much better place and not in pain any more which makes me accept your being gone easyer. Every time were out on the back porch we talk about how much you made us laugh while we were building it.I am so sorry your life ended so early but God knew best and didn't want you to suffer any more and for that I thank him every day.I love you son and always will.

To my Angel
Life is so empty without you, but I know that you are still here with me, and always will be. Hope you heard everything I said to you on your Birthday, and the things that will be said today. Thank you for being a great father (I really miss you and Adam goofing of together) and husband (Miss those "sneak up behind me" bear hugs at the kitchen sink!!) Noone will ever be able to take the place in my heart that you have. I still listen to the messages you left on my phone, and will keep them forever. (I LOVE YOU TOO)

Happy 45th Birthday John John!!!
I have been trying to find the words for the last 7 and a half months to express our sadness on losing you. It is still hard to put it all into words. I just want to say how much you are missed by all who loved you. There isn’t a day that goes by that you aren’t in our thoughts in one way or another. We got to do so much together these last few years. I want you to know how much we treasure that time, and now take comfort, that you got to see and do some things you otherwise wouldn’t have done. We are so grateful for that. We also know how hard it was for you at times, not feeling well, but being the trooper that you were, you didn’t let it stop you. You are the most courageous young man I will ever know. You always handled everything that was thrown at you; you never let anyone feel bad for you…..you just carried on. Your answer was always…..one day at a time!
I miss our talks and “shopping” trips. From your new wardrobes to looking for kitchen gadgets, you were my best shopping buddy. I think of you every time I go into one of the stores that we used to go to. Now I say to myself, “John John would have loved this, or this would have looked so good on him.” It gives me as much joy now, as it did then, when I think of the look on your face when you were trying on something new, knowing that it looked so good on you.
You would be so proud of how well the sale of your cookbooks went. So much time and effort went into it, we feel so fortunate that you were able to see it published, and then to “autograph” some for us. God must have been watching, knowing he had greater plans for you, so soon in your young life. We know you are up there watching over all of us. You certainly have been our Guardian Angel over these last several months.
Johnny, your legacy will live on. There will never be another you…that devilish laugh, that great smile, and a heart as good as gold. We want you to know that promises we made, will be kept. Uncle Carl and I loved you so much. We wish you were here to celebrate your birthday with all of us. We know you are with other loved ones, so you are not alone. Until we can all be together, know that you will live on in our hearts forever!!
You are my Hero!!!!
All our love,
Aunt Claudia and Uncle Carl

Dear Uncle Johnny,
It has taken me a while to put into words how sorry I am that John John is gone. I have a deep sadness that I don't think will ever go away and can't even imagine your sorrow. You and Debbie were there for him in so many ways. He was such a truly kind person who never thought of himself, only others. I wish I was more like him. I will miss him. Please know that you have your family and all our strength to get you through this. We love you and Deb very much and are here for you always. Our angel is watching over us now.

My Dear Corbo Family:
May I offer my deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, grandson, nephew, and cousin of the Corbo family.
What a extradinorary young man Johnny was. I had never met such a caring, giving, helpful, and considerate person. If only the rest of the world knew him and could have shared in his life as we have. It's something you want to shout about at the top of a mountain. Johnny is missed by many. Even though Johnny is not with us, I can't help but smile when I think of this kind man. May God guide his young soul to heaven.

To my Angel, No one will ever know the deep love that I have for you. It will never end. You came to me when I needed strength, and made me see that life does hold good things for us all,no matter what we choose to believe. Please know that Justus, and all of our grandchildren to come, will know how much you love them. I have many promises to keep for you, and although some will be hard, they will be kept. You are forever my love, my life, my world,and I will draw from your strength when I feel life is to hard to bear without you. You are here holding my hand each and every step as I continue my walk along life's path. I lOVE YOU, BLUE

Johnny,
Let me start by saying you are your father's son. The few times that we were able to attend family gatherings together, you were the life of the party even through your most painful days. It is sad to see you go, but brings a peace knowing you are not hurting anymore.

Johnny,
Your personality was like a magnet that attracted so many friends and your attitude was so upbeat, it was contagious. We couldn't help but smile when you were around. You usually had a comment (or two) to brighten up our day. I'll miss our daily talks, but most of all we'll miss having you here with us.
Love,
