I'll miss John very much. I enjoyed working with John & Phyllis on the Proviso 50th reunion committee. He was a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor. I'm very sorry I could not attend the visitation today
My sincere sympathy.

I am so very sorry for your loss. John's landscape company did work for us several times. John was such a great guy; he would sit in his lawnchair and watch the guys work to ensure that the work was to his standards. I enjoyed many talks with John and his sense of humor. I will miss seeing his white pick-up truck and his wave to me in the neighborhood. What a nice, sweet man he was.

Phyllis and Family, there will forever be a void in my life with the passing of John . He was a very unique individual, who always brought a smile to my face whenever he entered the room, and who loved his family and friends. As i have always said there were two ways of doing things the right way and the best way was always John's way. I will forever miss our conversations about business and most of all his family who he was extrtemely proud of. I feel fortunate to have been a part of his life and he will always be remembered.

Debby & Dan,

I can not put into words our condolences and sympathy to you and your family on the loss of John, your father, father in-law, & poppy to your children. I will tell you I am sure we were not alone in shedding some tears this weekend as his passing will be felt by many. I have always had a high respect for John not because of who he was but for the person he was and the man I considered a friend over the past few years. A man who would give you the shirt off his back whether or not he was well off or had two pennies in his pocket. The man who would offer you his donut and offer you shelter from the elements. That was the John I knew. John’s death is a real loss not only to the Policicchio & Hinger families but for all of those who knew him as the world is now short a good man. Take the time to heal, celebrate John’s life and accomplishments as they live through those he has left behind.
