John is survived by so many friends that he loved and considered his family. John truly had the biggest heart, he made it a point to always laugh and smile. He was an amazing husband to his wife whom he absolutely loved and adored. John was also an amazing friend. He was the type of man who would give his shirt off his back to anyone in need. John was an honest, loving, and compassionate man who had so much life in him. He absolutely loved wrestling, and was the biggest fan of WWE. Every Monday and Tuesday nights were wrestling nights at our home. John loved going back to his hometown, Manhattan New York, where I loved watching him transform into his city swagger. John worked with disabled individuals and young adults with autism for many years, for whom he had a tremendous amount of love, patience, and compassion. He was loved by his consumers.
