It is with great sadness that I learned of John's passing. Although I had not seen him in quite a while I cannot ever forget his spitit and sense of humor. He seemed to love life no matter how difficult it was at times. We had some wonderful conversations about life and times. He shall be missed. He was truly a special person and a good riend.

I grew up across the street from John on Leland street in the house he now owns. We became very close childhood friends. Oh the stories I could tell. Catching bats in his garage, chasing chipmunks up and down downspouts with tennis balls, getting free sodas from Al and Helens market as we wrapped them around our fingers with our percieved sweetness, and of course tormmenting Teri and my sister Laura. While we grew apart in our adulthood John was always remembered during family gatherings of the fun times my brothers and I spent with him growing up. Prayers are extended to John and his family. May you rest in peace friend.


Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death. Amen.

We knew your father for many years from Our Lady of Toledo Shrine and also from his attendance at the Traditional Latin Mass. He was a very sweet, gentle man, who loved Our Lord and Our Lady so much. He spent much time in front of the Blessed Sacrament when he visited and we miss him very much.
