Barb,

We remember the good times we all shared with the Cub Scout Pack. John was one of the most joyous persons I have ever known and he spread it around nicely. Great memories! May you find peace.

D'Alessandro Family, My heartfelt condolences to you all. I'm very sorry for your loss. John was always such an upbeat guy. He was always fun to be around (even when I was on the losing end of a softball game he was umping).



Sorry I couldn't get to the Visitation to pay my respects.

My husband and I knew John very well. We were involved with him at the Elks lodge with the Soccer and Hoop Shoot, and also bowling. I just had the pleasure of working with him this past year on both of these events. John will be greatly missed by our entire family.
