Oh my gosh! First of all, Teresa, Jimmy, Carol, Jennifer, Mr. and Mrs. Lamb, and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I just couldn't believe it when I heard.
John was a tremendous person, friend, neighbor, etc. We're so sad, I can't imagine your grief.
A part of my childhood has gone. I remember all the great times I had with John. The road football games, and every other sport you could imagine, watching the Giants win their first Superbowl together, then driving around in his big, blue car screaming about it. Hanging out, going out. He would do anything for you. He was a great big guy, with an even bigger heart, and I'm so sad, and sorry. Please let us know if you need anything. You raised a great son. That big smile, and those little joking ways will be sorely missed.
Take care of yourselves, he'll never be forgotten.
Love, Matt, Candy, Jacob and Zack Zeccola.

John was so amazing to me when I worked at Monro. He believed in me, and being the only female mechanic in the shop, it meant a lot. He is one of the reasons I stayed at Monro for so many years. Thoughts and prayers to your family.

Theresa, I am so sorry to hear of Johns passing. My prayers are with you and your family. I met you and John the first time in Key West Florida many years ago when Chris won the trip with Monro. I remember him being very friendly and always with a smile. May God keep him.

Theresa, my most sincere condolences to you and your family. In working with John over the past 18 years, I can say he was a man of honest and open intellect, fierce passion and unfailing good will. His generosity of spirit was exceeded only by his love for his family. Having improved the lives of all he touched, he will be deeply missed. May God bless you and your family in your time of healing.

Theresa,

I was thankful for the time I got to spend with your family all those years ago. I've never forgotten how welcomed I felt at your home, and John's calm smile was a huge part of that. I'm so, so sorry. I will keep you and the boys in constant prayer.

Met John in 1992 when I first started with the Corporation, always heard his name and read his emails and letters.
Rest in peace.
You are not remembered for what you do.
You are not remembered for how you did things.
You are always remembered for how you made someone feel... You made me and others feel important because of who you were...YOU...
At the beginning of life there is a date, at the end of life there is also a date... Its the DASH that is between those dates that is more significant because that is where your diteeds and actions are what made you and others know you.
