John was a very good man. He was my landlord for over 11 Years
We often share recipes and cooked in. When we did, we won't take each other. Samples of whatever we cook gives a very good chef, I would say. I just found this out. He also wasn't amazing son to Carl.
In a very caring person.

We were very saddened to hear of John' passing. My husband suffered a stroke and required a feed tube. John delivered his meals and spent time with us, with each delivery, sharing stories of his dad's recovery. He was a very special person and it is such a shame that he was taken so young. We all have an angel watching over us.

So sorry to hear this sad news of Johns passing. I worked with John as a driver myself, at UPS. Every time we would run into one another we would talk. I will miss him. He was taken to soon.

John was our UPS driver. We really got to know him during COVID...he was always so polite and always brought dog treats for our two Goldens. He always smiled and was super polite. God Bless John and his family.

We were truly sadden to hear of John's passing. He was our UPS driver. He always had a smile on his face, and such a pleasant personality. He went out of his way to say hi or give a treat to our dog Marlee. We will truly miss seeing his smiling face! Our deepest condolences to his family!

Some people are put on this earth to make us smile, and John was one of those delightful people. He always had a smile and a "hi ". One of the truly blessed people I have ever met. I am going to miss him terribly.

I was heartbroken when I realized that John, our beloved UPS delivery man, passed away.
John was so welcoming to me and my Spanky when we moved into our new home. He took the time to introduce himself to "us" and became fast friends with Spanky always leaving him a milk bone anytime he delivered a package for me.
He told me he was helping to care for his father and about the close relationship they had.
I hope your family knew of your kindness to your customers, and how much we admired and appreciated you. You will be greatly missed.

I only knew John as my UPS Driver for my Dental office and our Building in Penn Township. John was always at the office between the four spaces. I would run into him as he worked in the area. I sold my office and retired last year and would still see him and he me as we had a honk relationship. He was just a great guy and I will miss his smiling face. Due to the hour differences he would drop off stuff at my office for another office. I say that because we really saw each other daily for years. He will be missed and pic on this site is perfect for his enchanting smile. I will miss him. May God grant him and his family peace and grace at this terrible time. I'm sure many will miss him.

This is so sad. I got to know John from bringing Carl to his appointments when i worked for AHN. He was very sweet and cared so much about Carl. Their relationship was one of a kind. John will be missed. Praying for the family.
