I am so sorry for your loss. John was a great man & a great friend to my Grandpa, Al Bisignano. I am sure they are together now causing some trouble & playing cards with all their other friends, that have also passed. He was definitely one of the great ones. I know I will never forget him as he is unforgettable. Always entertaining & making me laugh. Take care & keep all of your wonderful memories close to your heart.

Just want all of you to know I share in your grief. Be gentle with yourselves for grieving takes a long time. May your precious memories be forever in your heart. I pray the Lord continue to shower you with his grace. Hugs Fran Talarico Stefani

So sorry for your loss. John was such a wonderful man, always ready to give a hand. John worked at the Club 2000 with me in the mornings. Then in the afternoon his friends would come in. The stories, laughter would begin. I will cherish the memories.
