I had waited to collect my thoughts to share with your loved ones. When we first met I wasn't sure about you. I did know that you were the one for Debra. As I got to know you, you were not only a friend, but family. You were always there when someone needed you. You were there when I needed you. You had a deep passion for your family and friends. I could go on and on. I always admired your drive and will. All of us who had known you are better people be cause of you in our lives. As a tribute to your life, and presence in mine, I vow to become a better man each day, as you were. As such your spirit will always be with us that you touched in your lifetime. Until we meet again my friend, God speed.

It still hasn't set in that he's gone. There is not a single memory of my uncle John that i don't cherish. He was the definition of "cool" and i will always remember him that way. I always looked forward to every time he was coming into town, and all the laughs i knew was coming with him. He was the best uncle any nephew could hope to have. I loved him and miss him like crazy.

Rosalind DeBlois on May 7, 2020

Debby my heart goes out to you and all your girls for the loss of John. May he Rest In Peace for ever more till you meet again.

The best Father-in-law I could ask for. Never told me no to any project I got into and needed help finishing. I wouldn't have met my husband if it wasn't for him bringing him into my work and making him talk to me. He always listened anytime I needed to come by and vent. We have some great memories over the last 17 years. I miss him so much๐Ÿ’”

Brian Branch on May 7, 2020

CandleJohn was one of my oldest and best friends. There is not enough space here for me to pay tribute to someone I have known for close to 50 years. He meant so much to so many. He was always there to help me repair my cars, my homes, move a house full of stuff or to just spend the time of day with doing close to nothing. So many memories.
I will miss him.

Debra Fodera on May 7, 2020

To a man, that I first meant as a stranger, and left as a friend. May the kindness that you showed, to me, be return to your family, during this difficult time. May the days and roads ahead, be Comforted by Gods peace.
