Dear John, I'm still in shock and can't believe you're really gone. I have such great memories of you when you used to call the office to check up on me or to put a work order in. You helped me move to my new apartment back in 2018 and I will always be grateful. I look at all the stuffed animals on my desk that you gave me and they are a reminder of your kindness. Thank you for treating me like a human being. You are missed and I pray for your family's strength. I love you and you will never be forgotten. You'll always have a special place in my heart. Fly high dear friend.

My dear friend John, Thank you so much for a decade of friendship. I will cherish all of our memories and all the laughs we've shared. This obituary is missing so much about you. Your love for the Boston sports, the way you cared deepley for those who cared about you. A true heart of gold was always in you. Last year you checked in daily when you knew I needed a friend to help me through a diffult time my family was having. We may not have always seen eye to eye, but we sure were always there when we needed each other and I love you for that!! Haha sorry about the back yard adventure you have to admit that was hilairous, I don't think I ever laughed so hard. I have so many wonderful memories of you my friend. Thank you for everything. I love you to the moon and back and we will meet again soon and when we do I will have the biggest hig for you. Rest easy. God bless and Love you xoxo
