Dear Amy, You might not remember me, but I'm who brought Devine into your life at Berg's! I dragged his butt & tool chest from Singh's! I knew the Berg's from Flushing and they knew Devine as a great mechanic! We lost touch after my stroke, sorry! He didn't want me to travel on the Memorial weekend from PA to his Anniversaries because he thought it was a burden! I always thought of him as a brother! Bill Healy

I met John only 9 years ago when I met Danielle and him and Amie took me in almost instantly and treated me as if I were their own. He shared many stories and was always there for everyone. I will forever try and be happy for the times we had instead of the sadness of losing him.
It wasn’t fair for him or Amie the last couple years but I know in my heart that because of the kind, generous, forgiving person he was -he is in a peaceful place where there’s a giant garage filled with his favorite tools, car shows every day, puppies to give treats to, and the Jets win football games.
He will forever be missed and I will forever try to be as good of a person he was to me and everyone else that was lucky enough to know him. And to know him was to love him.

There’s a poem, “People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime”. And if you’re lucky, some of those people become family. Twenty two years ago I moved into an apartment that gave me more than I ever expected. We were blessed with two of the most selfless, loving, and giving people I have ever known.
One post could never sum up just how special John was to everyone who knew him. For me, he was family and loved as if I was his own daughter. We would listen to country music, went to car shows, had our annual Father’s Day breakfast at different places to find him the best corned beef hash, and the list goes on.
John loved being able to fix things and take care of all the cars at home, but what made him so special is that he did things for people when they weren’t even looking. That is something he should be remembered for.
We will miss his jokes, his smile, his stories, and our house will have a void that can never be filled.
John, we love you and you will forever be in our hearts.

For those who weren’t fortunate enough to know my Papayou are truly missing out. This man was the most selfless, humble, kindhearted loving man I knew. He was an amazing husband, Papa and step dad. You could hear his thick Irish accent from the other room especially when he threw in some curse words. Maybe he wasn’t the best driver and kept us on our toes which brought laughs along with a little fear in those moments. He loved to take pictures and talk about memories from when we were little. He loved me and my brothers, cousins including Danielle Joey and Sharon so much. His other pride and joy was his dogs. He loved them so much even the little meanie! He was incredibly strong and fought for his family until the end. His last words were I love you. The most loving man. Rest easy Papa John I love you with all of my heart ♥️

I met John in 1974. In a half century we had many shared experiences. During that time I never saw John angry or treat someone unkindly. He was extremely giving of his time and talents to many people over many years. His love and laughter will be missed by all of us who were fortunate to have known him.
