December 15, 2023 at 10:04 pmI’ll miss working on electronics with you and how silly the two of us would get
after working on something for to long.
I take comfort in knowing that you are finally pain free and in a much better place. Having mom, dad and Barry there to greet you on the other side also gives me comfort . The heavens just got a little brighter.
You will be missed. RIP John
your brother, Kenny

December 18, 2023 at 3:05 pm✞ During the years that I was married to Jim, I have fond memories of Johnny from many great family gatherings years ago. It’s sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew. Rest easy Johnny. You will be missed and always remembered. ✞

December 18, 2023 at 8:18 pmJohn, I will always remember the times we spent together watching movies, and shaking the apartment building. The trip to 6th Ave electronics trying to find you a subwoofer, we just followed the bass. Like Kenny I remember you working on electronic things for me and you attempted to explain things to me. I always remember you say while driving “always think of a way out” this was in case of a close accident. Going to the race track, towing your car with my car to Island Dragway. You were a great brother and will be sadly missed. I know your in a better place now with past family members, and out of pain. Your shared knowledge of scientific, electrical and mechanical things will be missed. Always remember you carrying Jimmy over your head in Randolph, you were a superman. You could have filled in for George Reeves on the show really. I will think of you always and someday we will reunite in the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Robert and Sharon Latella
