Worked with Sully for several years at the Civic Center
and during those times, many good conversations took place. Rest In Peace, John, until we meet again….
I worked with Sully at the Civic Center for many years. He was always sharing recipes that were very interesting. His wife used olive oil in cakes instead of vegetable oil. This was heart healthy he would say. I loved to listen to him talk about his home life. He was such a happy guy. I’m sorry to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace. My sincerest condolences to his family.
Dear John & Family,
We are very sorry for your loss. We will always have fond memories and enjoyed his company in the past. He was a great man!
Our deepest sympathy on the passing of your father. Stay strong and keep his memory close to your hearts.

Remembering Jack and Kitty on Elizabeth St. for most of the years of our lives, growing up in the same neighbor and apartment house. Felt the comfort of mutual friendship and happy childhood days.
He will be missed.
