Always at my side, throughout the years, playin’ those drums without any fear. Today we cry one thousand tears knowing he’s nolonger near.
There’s a new band forming beyond those pearly gates today. Keep on playin’ those drums, you know the way….

Dear family and friends, i cant believe that just a few short weeks ago i went to visit my brother for his birthday and he was fine. its so hard to say good-bye, but i know he has to be in a better place. john you are loved and will be missed, i can’t believe your gone. another crappy Christmas to celebrate this year with. every year i struggle still to this day, almost 22 years ago with mom and now with you. damn it, john i will always love you and you will never be forgotten. love to you always, ‘your little big sis don’
Donna and Jr., so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time in your lives.
JOHN JOHN WILL BE DEARLY MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM.
John..I’ve known you well for 35 years and I’ll surely miss you. We lost our good friend, Nick Mazziotti just last year and now you. I pray for you and yoyr family and this makes us all realize just how short life is. The world was a better place because of you and now heaven is the new drummers haven for you. Godspeed John and say hey to Nick for me. He loved you so much too.
To his children, your dad was truly the best life could offer and a true friend indeed. No one can or will ever replace this giant. Bless you all.
