Condolences to Johns wife, family; was very sorry to hear this news. John was always happy, good natured, sense of humor and approached his work with a positive attitude. He was one of the good guys; we are worse off for his passing.

Lisa I am so sorry for your loss. John was genuinely one of the nicest people I ever met. He had a kind heart and I never saw him get mad in the 11 years I knew him. I am praying for you and John's family in this very difficult time. I talked to John about his faith many times and John knew where he was going when his time on this earth was done. I hope it helps knowing he is now in the company of Angels!

I knew John while he was working at Picatinny, and he was instrumental in keeping our door locks and safes in good working order. Nice man, always had a smile on his face. He will be missed.

To John's Family. I've known John for many years thru work at Picatinny. He was always smiling, laughing while getting the job done. Our "Pets" were a huge part of our conversations - we would often share photos of our fur-babies. He was a huge welcome presence! He will be greatly missed. My Thoughts and Prayers are with all of you.

I am sorry for your loss, Lisa. I was going to try and come up there for the viewing but I would be crunching time. Although he and I didn't see eye to eye most of the time, he is still my brother, still family and I would have done everything I could for him if he needed me to. The world lost a really good man. If you need anything let me or Mom know. I have time I can come up and help if you want/need me to.

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with John for years. I remember a man who was dedicated to doing a good job, who was always (to my recollection) courteous and friendly, and devoted to his wife. It was an honor to have known him.
