John was my cousin and a childhood friend. I will always remember his kindness and sense of humor. When my mother passed away he and Toni were there to comfort me and my family. May he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing.

May John rest in peace and his family be blessed in their time of sorrow. John was a joy to be around at the Highlands and I always enjoyed his Army stories from Germany and his knowledge of Freddie Murcury and Queen. Many will miss John.

John worked with me briefly at our Finigan Realtors office, just up the street from his house in Aston. I admired his attitude and he always had a great smile. My condolences, especially to Allison and Rick, who also sold their house thru me.

My deepest sympathy goes to Antoinette & John’s family. John was a good friend to everyone. I enjoyed his good sense of humor & always had a good joke to tell us while sitting at the clubhouse or at the pool. He was a very good friend to my late husband Bob. They had many laughs together. RIP John🙏
