Dear Sis and Family, My sister Di told me of John's passing. Please accept my sincere sympathies. What a wonderful man he was. I'll always remember him coming into Uncle Butch's store with that big ol smile on his face. I'm so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

Dear Sis and Kids and Grand kids,
We were so sad to hear about John. He was a wonderful man who always thought of others before himself. He went out of his way to pick me up every morning for 2 years when I worked at the law firm. How anyone can be in a good mood first thing in the morning day after day is beyond me but he was. And the time when he had to knock on my door because I had over slept ( I answered bedhead and all / he started laughing from then). It was nice enough he woke me up but he took everyone else to work and insisted on coming back for me! He laughed about it the whole ride back downtown! His kindness and sense of humor always reminded me of my own great Dad. Must be the Pavela blood. This was truly a good man. I know he's in Paradise where he belongs with no more pain or sorrow. May God bless and comfort all of you in the days ahead.

Dad - you have left us way too early but we know that you are in a better place today. You have given us all so much in the time that you were with us - family, love, laughter, support, encouragement - and we will be able to relive those memories on a daily basis and that will take us until we meet again. Our daily chats on my way home from work will no longer require the cell phone or use up any of my minutes, we can talk unlimited so get ready. I love you more than anything and will miss you every moment of every day. I love you! Johnny
