Mary and family, John was such a pivotal part of my career and family going back to Mernan Chevrolet. My Grandpa Jesse and Dad Ron always loved him and I loved working with him at Flanigan Chevrolet. I always considered John a surrogate grandpa. My brother and I send our condolences to you and hope God holds you all in his light during this difficult time.

Mrs D, Rob, Susan and family:
Sorry to hear of the death of Mr. D.
I heard from Bob Kasper that he had passed, but just got the details this afternoon so unfortunately missed the wake and funeral.
I always liked your Dad and sorry that I missed the chance to give my condolences.
I was very touched when Mr and Mrs D came to Nick's funeral back in 2012 (long time ago).
RIP Mr. D

I had an opportunity to work with John for a number of years when he was on the auto advisory committee for CTE with the Buffalo Schools. John had a tremendous impact on students, teachers and the auto program. He was always so kind and demonstrated such quality of character. I extend my condolences to his family. May he rest in eternal peace.
