My sincere condolences to the family & friends of John....the memories go back to the late 1950s, when his family moved into the neighborhood. We grew up in a fantastic playground of woods, fields, brooks & streams....playing "Gladiator", after watching Spartacus, Demetrius & The Gladiators, Ben Hur, etc. Later Dinosaurs became part of the play, and we would make-believe that Butchy & Dukey, the Marzuolo dogs, were Dinosaurs that were attacking us. Some comfort is found that John finally ended up living next to a waterway with real-life "dinosaurs" (alligators)....I'm sure he had a lot of fun down there in Florida.
Clearly John touched a lot of lives...his generosity & kindness will always be remembered....
