John Velasquez Obituary

John will be missed very much as we traveled together on company business, I have shared many laughs and conversations with John that we just bonded like 2 brothers, we were family on the road taking care of each other, John's heart was huge when it came to his family, God knew John's heart and his feelings toward people as he was a person you can't get upset with even if you tried.
We had alot of good laughs, he had a very good sence of humor.
John you will never be forgotten, it was a pleasure working with you but best yet becoming a very good friend.

Your Road Pal,

He was a great person to know. Even though I only knew him for a short time, while he was doing SAP training at Ambridge, I could tell he was well liked by many people and will be greatly missed. God Bless!

John,
You will truly be missed. May God bless your family at this time.

I have known John for the past 25 years and he has always been a true friend. No matter what was going on, John was always there for people and would lend a helping hand or just listen to what you had to say. Someone like John doesn't come along very often in life, and when they do you tresure their friendship.
My prayers and heartfelt sympathy goes out to his mom, dad, brothers, sister and the rest of his family.
John, You will always be remembered and not forgotten.

Johnny V. was a giant of a man in many ways. His kindness, patience, intelligence and incredible work ethic were greatly appreciated by those privileged to work with him. He leaves a tremendous void and will be missed dearly. Johnny was a true gentleman.

John was my trusted and valued friend at 111th Coil Processing and recently at Westmont in IT. He was a unique strong person with a kind heart. I will miss him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Johnny V. will not only be leaving behind a countless number of friends at Ryerson, but he will be leaving an unfillable void.

Having had the great fortune of meeting "Big John" (or "Kahuna" as he was sometimes called back in the day) more than 20 years ago and working closely with him for several years back at the North Plant and out at RCP, I came to know him as a good listener, a patient teacher, and GOOD MAN! I was also lucky enough to have shared many a "cold one" with him; I find myself reflecting now on many a night at Alfo's, The Landmark, and at Lucky Lady. Man, we had alot of fun!

We should all feel blessed to have had this a "big" man in our lives.

With deepest sympathy

I'm grateful for the opportunity to have met John. He was helpful, kind and patient with all of us at Ambridge Ryerson.

John was a great friend and mentor when I got started in the steel industry. He always led by example en every situation we encountered as a team, and was someone I could always talk to and ask advice of. I have so many wonderful memories of our friendship. He will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. Even though I have known him very briefly, he was a compasionate teacher. My prayers are with you.

I just recently met John, and can honestly say what an exceptionally wonderful man. May his family find peace in this difficult time.
