John Morin Obituary
John was the beloved husband of Barbara Morin, his wife of 45 years, and the proud father of Sarah Morin and her husband, Jonny, and Heather Casale and her husband, Nick. His greatest joy in life was being "Papa" to his six grandchildren, Harper, Cora, Fallon, Colt, Taytum, and Cannon who were the center of his world and the loves of his life.
A man of many talents, John had a passion for construction and could fix just about anything, from home projects to countless toy repairs for his grandchildren. He had a gift for making people laugh with his sharp wit, endless sarcasm, and love of pulling pranks. His humor and playful spirit brought joy to everyone around him.
John was happiest when surrounded by family. He was a lifelong sports fan who especially loved the Boston Red Sox and Dallas Cowboys. He cherished Monday nights during football season with his closest friends, "The Monday Night Men." His selflessness, kindness, and ability to anticipate the needs of others made him a source of strength and love for his family and friends.
John's memory will be forever cherished by all who knew and loved him.

It's taken me a while to get here, and I guess it's because I'm still in shock.
When I got the call from Chuck telling me about this devasting news, all I could think about is that he's with my Brother (Bofie), and Larry, and they're all raising a little hell in heaven right now.
He was my Brother's Best Friend; he treated my Mother like gold and she treated him as if he was one of her own. He was more than just a friend to me; he was like a Brother, and I loved him like a Brother.
I will miss his smiling face, his great personality, and caring ways.
My heart and love go out to you Dear Barbie, the Girls, and the Grandchildren. Please know that he LOVED you all very much and talked with so much love for you all when we spoke.
May you rest in peace Dear Friend....Dear Brother....you will be missed more than you'll ever know and always

John and me were best friends for 4 to 5 years. There's nothing John wouldn't do. His 64 Falcon that he dropped a 302 in was awesome. Our trip to California in 74 was great. As our lives evolved, kids, houses, we grew apart. John had a house before me, and he gave me advice on how to grow grass. I think about him every time I'm doing something with my lawn. It's sad we lost him so early, but I'm sure he's meeting up with Danny O'Neil and Bofie and all his other friends that have passed. Even though I didn't see John often, I often thought of him.

My heart broke when I learned of John's sudden passing. He truly was one of the sweetest men that we grew up with. I often would run into him at the grocery store, and, as you know, he was a talker. His face would beam with a bright smile and pride when telling me of his Barbie, and daughters and grandchildren. His love for you was immense. Carry those memories and that love with you during this difficult time. Let the love of everyone help you as well. He will be truly missed by all that knew him. With much love ~ Cindy Dakoulas Sheehan

I will never forget John‘s loving ways which he expressed to not only his wife and two beautiful daughters, but his in-laws who he helped care for. I recall John coming over with groceries for his mother and father-in-law and putting everything away as well as fixing anything that needed repairs in the house. He always offered whatever they needed and was happy to help. He was so proud of Sarah & Heather and would do anything for them -he was very proud of his lovely wife, Barbie and his special little friend Lexie. I was always overwhelmed with the amount of Kindness and caring this man had for those he loved. May he rest in peace.❤
