I will never forget my childhood friend. Johnny was the coolest friend I had. He was kind and fun loving. He loves his wife and kids. I wish I had spent more time with him the last few years he had on this earth. We never know. Always live a good life and spread love whenever possible. We are here for a brief human experience and then we are gone. We waste time worrying, hating in anger and doing meaningless things. We are on this earth to serve. Cherish your family and friends...This is what losing my friend has taught me. Thank you Johnny

I cant believe it's been 5 years since we lost Johnny. I remember him often and it puts a smile on my face every time I think of the times we spent together. He will always have a special part in my memory of really good people that have passed through my life. I miss you buddy! See you. Someday.

I cannot believe two years have past since we lost Johnny. He has appeared in my thoughts many times and reminds me to live a good life since it can all be taken away. he was so young and full of life. I miss him and wish I could talk to him again. He would make me laugh and remember the great times we had as kids growing up in Newark. Going to grade school and high school together. Wow...so many memories. i sure do miss him and will always remember him in my prayers.

I met Johnny in 7th grade. He was the coolest guy of the bunch. He was always in the latest fashions. He had a smile for everyone. Johnny was a humble, lovely friend with a big heart that always looked for the lighter side of things. In high school he took his work seriously and had a clear view of his future and followed his course. He met Janeen and never looked back. I deeply regret not keeping in touch with him these last few years. I know he would have welcomed me any day with a big smile. I am happy to have known him and will miss knowing he no longer walks our earth. I caught a glimpse of his soul in his children's eyes and have not been able to stop thinking about him. He was blessed with a loving wife and beautiful children. His spirit lives in our hearts and minds. To me Johnny is alive and well in company of all the really good people that have left us to be a part of a greater truth. I Love You my Essex Catholic Brother. May you rest in Peace

It warms my heart to know that Johnny was loved and respected by so many wonderful people. He was a loving husband, father and friend to me and the children. Not a day will go by that I won't miss all of his beautiful qualities. I'm overwhelmed with sadness but will pray that through both time and the love of my children I will come to terms with "My Johnny's" early passing. I love him now and forever and wish he were home with us. Janeen
