I am so heartbroken to hear of John's passing. I have so many fond memories of John and will never forget his gregarious personality. He was always the life of the party and while we didn't see each other often enough, when we did it was always memorable. I am so lucky to have called John a friend and I wish we had kept in touch these past few years. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Caruso family. John was loved by so many!
