Dear Mrs. P., Andria and Johnny,
I can't even begin to tell you how so very sorry I am for your loss. Mr. P. was a beautiful, wonderful, great, intelligent, handsom and funny man. I will always remember as Andria and I grew up together how he would start off the day by saying to me.."Ines...Como se uuhhhhh???...." and then he would laugh because he couldn't finish speaking in Spanish!
All of you always welcoming me into your home and practically growing up and raising me there I felt Mr. P. as my second father. We will all miss him imensly but we will always remember him incredibly.
Mr. P. is, was and will always be the true meaning of the words.."Family Man". You were all so fortunate to have him in your lives...no matter how short or long!
I love you all!

I am John's daughter Andria. I just would like to thank everyone that sent an online message to my mother, Brother and me. Every word and every story about my father will stay close to my heart forever. Dad was and will always be the very best father and grandfather to my daughter Christina, that any daughter could ask for. All that I have learned about my dad from your many kind words has been amazing. Thank you again so very much for sharing with us how my fathers life touched so many.

To the Parrilli family,
I met John back in 1973 on my first day at Flying Tigers. He was the first person I met there. We struck up a conversation on that very first day, and from then on we have been good friends through out the year.
John was an easy going person and very easy to be around. You wanted more people like John to work with. He'd give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.
I will always remember my days with John and how much "fun" we had working together. Our Tiger and FEDEX days were unforgettable.
Why, he even gave me a chance to play baseball again at the ripe old age of 40. I played on his team in the over 40 league. It made me feel like a 12 yr old boy again. Playing BASEBALL. Only John could come up with something like that.
I know he was a great father as well as a friend and will be greatly missed by his family and his good friends.
I resent the fact knowing that I can never visit with him again in this lifetime, but take comfort in knowing that we will meet again and re-new our friendship for eternity.
God Bless John and take of his soul.
Beef, John's friend for life!!

Michalene and family,
I was devistated when I heard of John's passing. I met John when we moved over to the 351 building. What a great guy, always smiling, and so proud of his family. I will miss him tremendously. You and yours will be in my prayers and thoughts. Remember, John loved you and is waiting on the other side for the day you join him once again.

Dear Michaelene and family:
We were so sorry to hear about John. What a terrible loss. Always a happy go lucky person,always with a smile on his face, always a kind word and if he ever had an angered moment we never saw it. Made work a better place to be with John there.
Someday we will see his smiling face again.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

To my dear Michaelene & Family,
I know how much John fought the big fight but God had other plans. I will always remember the story of how John and you met and how much he was the love of your life. He adored and loved you, it always showed on his face and in his eyes.
He will be so missed but he is in a better place and at peace.
love always...pauline

Dear Michaelene:
So many years, so quickly - it seems like just yesterday I was maid of honor at your and John's wedding. From the minute you two saw each other, I believe, it was love at first sight (I'm glad I was there when you two met). I'm so thankful you and John spent all those wonderful loving years together. John will always be watching over you.
Love Sue

To the beloved family of Johnnie,
There will never be enough words to
describe what a kind, generous,wonderful,caring, giving, loving person Johnnie
was. He was extra special to me and my
family. He got my husband fulltime way
back when at Tigers. He played soccer with my daughter when she came to work with me. He was always concerned
about me and how everything was going
with me each day we worked together.
We enjoyed many good laughs and great
times. He will be greatly missed in
my life but I am comforted knowing that he is in a better place and not
suffering. May this thought comfort
you all through this time of sorrow.
always, Marla P.Peterson
