It was just about an hour or two ago that I learned of Johnny's passing. He was such a nice man to me everytime I would go in search of the "perfect" orchid at Johnny Mangos. He always had a smile and was fun to joke around with. Always singing one of my favorite Sinatra songs and my visits in his garden paradise were the highlights of my many days spent there.
Rest In Peace kind soul and suffer NO more. The Gates were open anxiously awaiting your arrival but you will be missed greatly.

Johnny had such a way with a story or a joke. When he was in the room, everyone knew it! He could lighten the mood with his infectious laugh, and get everyone smiling. I will miss his personality and presence. I've never met anyone like him before, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to get to know him. My sympathy to his family & friends on their loss.

I will miss Johnny's smiling face, arms open wide and hi Barbara Whittaker as soon as he saw me. I always took my mother, brother and quests because it was the most fun thing to do in Delray. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
He was a special man and one of my favorites.

I will miss Johnny very much. He always gave me inspiration, ideas and pep talks when he and Brad frequented my farm. He knew how to get your blood going if you we're down. We all enjoyed his company along with his jokes and stories too. He was a great customer and a great friend. My thoughts and prayers are with the Scalzo family. With our deepest sympathy, Bradley Bethurem and staff at Brad's Bedding Plants Inc.

To the Scalzo family, Our deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers go out to you at this most difficult time. Johnny was such an influence and huge part of Bradley's life, he was always very generous with him and treated him as part of the family. I will always be grateful to him for everything he has done for our family. He was so full of life and energy, he will be greatly missed.

My wife Malia and I met John in 2013 but had heard great things for quite some time leading up to meeting him. He treated us to dinner but much greater than the meal was the time spent laughing and enjoying life with John. He brought so much joy to the table as he shared story after story. We truly left that dinner and told our parents we knew why they enjoyed spending so much time with John and Dan. I was truly excited to get spend more time with him over the years. But learning about his illness, I am glad that he is no longer suffering. Our prayers our with your family. Elliot and Malia Sawyer

My heart goes out to Dan and John's family. He was my neighbor for many years. I was a student and he would send over cooked food to help us out. I will miss him greatly. May he rest in peace.

Lorrayne, Jarett, Danielle, Nicole, Dan, Mack, and Bradley,

John's obit and picture brings tears of sorrow, but joy to know that his suffering has ended. Becky and I will never forget one of the greatest “catches” in Key West. The first day we met several years ago, Becky and I had to go to a staffing for a foster child, and to prevent me from getting all my fishing gear up, here's a stranger that just walked up with sparkling charm that I instantly trusted to watch my stuff (and Chipper) until I could return to the park. It was a blessing to exchange break-of-dawn text messages with John, and to swap spontaneous calls, his humorous and mine probably too serious. Our last meal in Key West on Friday evening, May 17, 2013 was with John and Dan per John's invitation. Last May after arriving here in Denver he called me to read his 372 words of special praise to me and Chipper or “Chipster” as he called him. My memories of John will be touched in so many ways. I know that he loved each one of you so much. Please know that a day will not pass without me thinking of John. God be with you during your time of mourning, and we regret that distance has prevented us from being with you. Love, Mike Becky, Elliot, Malia, Hunter, Rochelle and Chipster Sawyer
