    My heartfelt condolences go out to the family. John was a smart, talented, honest man with a good sense of humor. He had me laughing every time I was in his company. He is already sadly missed. I am shocked and deeply saddened of his passing.

    I am very sad to hear that John has died. We went to St. Mary’s and Dunkirk High School together. He was a good man. May he rest in peace. My condolences to his family.
