I will never forget you John. I just found out that you left us. I was once married to John's best friend, Johnny Rossi. I know his daughters and my heart goes out to each one and to his son JJ. John was one of my few good memories. Loved you,
Renae

Dear Chisty, Marcy, J.J., Mandy, and Charlotte, I am so sorry for the lose of your dad and love one. Johnny was such a big part of our family while growing up, there was always a place setting for him at our table (quite lucky, since there were already 15 fighting for a place). He not only was responsible for getting me my first "real job" he took me to and from the job, I will forever be grateful to him for that. We have lost a member of our family and we will miss Johnny's "stories". God bless you all today and in the days ahead, you will all be in my prayers. Charlotte, you have been an "Angel on Earth" and I hope you feel some comfort in knowing you are well respected in our family. Love, Phyllis English

I have known John since I was six years old. He was a constant source of love and laughter in my life. My deepest sympathy to his children, Charlotte, and all who loved him. He has gone home to be with God.
