Dear Plamann family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have many wonderful memories of John when we were all growing up in the neighborhood, and at school.It does not seem possible it has been close to 30 years since I saw him last. You should know that John's personality, and somewhat sarcastic sense of humor, will not soon be forgotten by me, and many other people, anytime soon.
God bless you all.

Dear Dorothy and Janet and Family ~

The passage of time and altered life courses do not make this sad news any easier to bear, and my heart filled with sorrow to hear of John leaving this world too soon. The loss of your beloved son, your brother, your uncle, this wonderful human being who touched so many of our lives during his life, is so very difficult to come to terms with. Johnny had so many close friends, and we were all such a close- knit group when we were teenagers, sharing so many adventures and so much laughter and hilarity. John became a part of my family, and we all loved him very much, and will continue to carry him in our hearts. Our lives went in different directions, but we remained friends, and I will carry with me so many memories of what John and your entire family meant to me during my most impressionable teenage years. Thank you for sharing your son and brother with me, Dorothy and Janet, and there is some small measure of peace in knowing that Johnny went quickly into eternal Heaven, met by his beloved father and sister. I am so sorry for this grief which you are enduring, and on behalf of my entire family, we will hold you in our hearts and prayers.

With Love, Mary Bifulk Rancone

Dear Plamann Family,

I was very sad to here of John's passing. Although I have not seen or talked to John since high school, I always wondered how he was doing. We were good friends back in the day. It is a shame that we let time and friends slip away. My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family.

We are here to celebrate the life of Johnny. Or; as most of us knew him and he loved to personify, “Johnny Vegas. “ My five–year-old son at the time decided that there was another nickname that would suit him well – “The King.” Of course, Johnny loved this nickname and adopted it very quickly. From then on, to Dustin, Johnny was “The King.”

For as much as “Johnny Vegas” was always ready to have a good time and was one of the most fun and funny people I have ever known, he possessed a softer side that some of you may not have known existed.

Johnny was an avid gardener. He learned how to garden from one of the most important people in his life - his father. In turn, Johnny taught me how to garden. From that point on, John and I created a wonderful garden in my back yard that we have worked on together every summer for the last 10 years. I loved gardening with Johnny because we never really had to direct each other or tell each other what to do – we worked in tandem just understanding what to do without having to say anything. John loved creating things of beauty and was meticulous and purposeful in everything he did. He knew I appreciated those qualities and that was one of the many things we loved so much about each other.

The way we worked together in our garden was symbolic of the kind of friendship we had. We just understood each other. Our conversations were effortless and understood. I would start out with a story or find humor in something and he just got it. He could make a joke or something that I had said even funnier without even trying. We appreciated each other’s humor so well, that we would laugh just for the sake of laughing.

That’s the kind of friend Johnny was. Light-hearted, hilarious and always quick to show you how much your friendship meant to him through laughter. What I will miss the most about Johnny is not his ability to make me pee my pants more times than I care to admit, but his ability to turn any event or conversation into a silly, hilarious moment that always kept me coming back for more.

So here’s to Johnny – the world will be an emptier place without you and your laughter will be sorely missed! Goodbye my sweet, sweet Johnny – I loved you so!
