Susie, I was with you when we saw John on Opening Night in LA, and he was so disarming and engaging. Thanks for posting this wonderful tribute, and Joey, thanks for putting it together. We’ll miss you John; rest in peace.
Thanks for taking the time to do that, Joey. It’s great that John had a chance to touch people’s lives and give them a good laugh. He was such a funny man and it sounds like he was a sweet guy, too.
Thank you Joey for taking the time to honor John’s memory in such a beautiful way. His Cardinal Spellman High School family will always remember him. You are in our prayers. -Heidi Director of Alumni ’97
My deepest sympathies to John’s family and friends. I had the pleasure of knowing John through Spellman. It was amazing to watch/hear him. His talent and passion were extraordinary. May he rest in peace, knowing that he touched so many people. Edith Moricz-Masiello Class of ’87

I’m speechless, and just totally emotional, but am definitely touched by the tribute…..

John is an eternal smile that no one who came in contact with him could ever forget! I have great memories and will cherish them. God Bless your family.
To all the friends and fans of my brother, John…thank you for all the kind words and many prayers during John’s short illness and then after his passing. My parents, brother Charlie, and I, found tremendous comfort in the outpouring of support we received during this horrible time. John was such a lucky man to have had so many dear friends. Thank you!

Here’s a clip of John singing “Bless the Broken Road” with Miles Aubrey on guitar. It’s from the first SF benefit the Jersey Boys cast did.

All who know this life will know it too briefly—all who leave this life will leave it too soon.
May He Rest in Peace. Ciao.
