I would like to send my deepest condolences to John's family and friends.I first meet John back in 1969-1970 when he worked at Engine 218.I was about 9 or 10 years old when I started hanging out at the firehouse when I was not attending school and became a buff.I would go to the store for meals and over time became a fixture in the firehouse.Bushwick Brooklyn was the second poorest neighborhood at the time but I always knew I would be safe at the firehouse. I got the chance to watch John work and he did his job with pride and commitment and he was an excellent fireman.I am now 60 yrs old and I will never forget him.

God brings special people into your life for a reason.. whether it's to teach, guide, support or love, they leave an impression that will forever change your life for the better. Sonny ("Papa") was such an individual.
Anne, you and Sonny accepted Kaitlyn and I into your family, and treated her as one of your own grandchildren. You were there for all the important milestones in our lives, and stand in for our loved ones who have passed and unable to physically attend. You thought of us at every Birthday and holiday.
Papa's stories and traditions have shaped those that he's touched in many ways. When Kaitlyn sees the moon, she still says "I see the moon first", and that's from Papa.
Danielle, Lauren and Juliana.. thanks for sharing your Papa with Kaitlyn. Sue and Trish.. thanks for sharing your parents with me.
When I think of my dad, I think of the moon. Now, when I think of the moon, I will think of both our dads.
My deepest condolences... you're all in my thoughts and prayers. Love you guys!

Very sorry for the loss of our cousin, Sonny. What a great guy. I am sad that I didn't get to see him or spend time with him and you all when we moved to Florida. I know he was close to my Dad and we adored him. He was funny, warm, smart, and generous. After we lost my Dad , Sonny kept the connection going for many years. He was so special. We lost a great one! I hope he is in heaven with his sister, Mom, my Dad and all the others. Much love to you all.

I will miss John's warm and welcoming smile, his humor, and his stories. He truly lived a full life, and he loved his family and his grandchildren so much. He will be so missed.
