My deepest sympathy to Rose and John's children. I had the privilege of working side by side with John as an apprentice plumber with the family business. John was always quick with a good joke or a fascinating story of his youth in Ireland. I have many fond memories of those times and learned a lot about plumbing and life from John. John Scanlon was the best !!!

It was my great pleasure to know you. I looked forward to our long talks when you walked down to see me at the house. I learned so much from you and enjoyed hearing about your life. You can never be replaced in my life. Until we meet again...
