I haven't seen you in 35 years and then I see your picture in the paper and could not believe what I was reading. Your loving family and friends will always miss you and your star will always shine brightly to watch over them.

To the Mercer Family,
I'm truly sorry to hear about your father's passing. I met John while working at Area 5. What a wonderfully happy person he was. He could make anyone laugh. I know you'll miss him tremendously.

Thank You,
I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love for my father. Family, friends, CPD supervisors and colleagues sharing experiences and stories was touching.
The warmth and charisma my father shared will be cherished for years to come.
The saddest part is for all those who did not know him, you have been greatly deprived.
I will miss you terribly.
Lovingly your son,
Mark

John and Tony worked together in pressrooms for many years that began when they were teen agers. He was witty, quick to smile, had great stories and was always there to help. He was a wonderful friend and a joy to be around. We will miss him. God speed Johnny.
