Just learned of your father's passing. So sorry for your loss. John was my client for the past few years and we shared many a laugh together. I will forever miss his smile. Thank you for your service to our country John, and thank you for your presence in my life.

Dear family of Johnny Amendola,

Please accept my sincere sympathy and condolences on the loss of your dear brother.
I wish that I could have been there to share your grief and sorrow.

I worked with John for 20+ years at the Jardine Water Purification Plant and even though both of us were retired and lived hundreds of miles apart, we were still in contact to the every end.

He was a fine man and will be missed.
Rest in Peace dear John.

Dear Dad,
I'm heartbroken that God has called you to be with him now, and so suddenly. You did' get to depart on your own terms, and didn't suffer. For that I'm forever grateful to our Lord. The selfish me wanted you here much longer, but now I must realize I've only your spirit around me and my guardian angel!
I will love you and carry you in my heart forever, until we are together again. XOXOXO
Love you always Popsickle,
Gumby ❤
