John was my cousin, but I never knew him. By reading his obituary, I can see he was a very gifted man. I'm sorry our families didn't stay in touch. Please accept my sincerest condolences for his entire family. (My mother is Aunt Janie to all of you in New York.)

Anji and I stopped by Johnny's gravesite last weekend and I couldn't help but to think what a great loss everyone has to endure. I've only known Johnny for a short time, but was immediately intrigued by his stories, personality and genuine kindness. I met Johnny three times and will remember all the stories (at least 12, but some seemed to run into another story so it could be more). The experiences he shared seemed outlandish at times, but his niece and nephews confirmed every word was true. If they are true, then god bless him for getting the most out of every moment of his way too short of a life. After our visit to the grave Anji and I went back to his house to pick black berries and see if any grapes had grown this year. As we picked the berries, it was painfully obvious what was missing...Johnny's help with the picking and a story that would have kept me intrigued, interested and happy to be a friend of his.

To John's family, we send you our deepest sympathy on his sudden passing. We're old friends from the Out of Control Ski Club and just today (July 9,2010) learned of John's passing. We knew John as "Peach"! I believe named after Peach Schnapps but I'm not 100% sure. We had many wonderful times with John, many years ago on outings to Dippikill on New Years and playing volleyball, camping, hiking, biking, canoeing and skiing. I remember the skis John rigged up with a tip container to try and keep his skis closer together so he could improve his skiing. Like one of the earlier writers, I too thought of John in the last couple of months...

I'm stunned and saddened at the loss of John. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of his family in this sad time. I hadn't seen him in years but I was just thinking about him and Augie recently and wondering what they were doing these days. It almost makes me wonder if I was being touched by his spirit some how. The last time I can remember seeing John was at a Concert at RPI in Troy sometime in the 80's then life took us in different directions. I remember when we were kids John bought an old junk bike off me for about $5 and I thought I made a great deal until I saw the bike about a week later. John had made this thing into what looked like a bike on stilts and he was riding it around showing off his creation, he was a talented person a creator of things. I was in awe of what he did with that old thing. Rest in Peace John...

I am very saddened to read that John has passed away. I met John at the YMCA . We were members of the Schenectady Boxing Club. I can still see John coming through the gym doors with his gym bag in his hand and his hair tied up behind his head with a rubber band into a ponytail. I remember all the rounds we spent in the ring sparring each other so that we could hone our skills. There was a core group of us that were there for every practice session and John was a part of that group. I have many great memories of those boxing years with John. To all of John?s family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. God bless you John and may you rest in peace.

Dear Marie, Patty, Florence, Billie June, Rosie, Clara, Theresa and Augie. I have so many great memories from growing up knowing all of you (except when I ran through a bees nest in your back yard and got stung by 13 yellow jacks). I have to say, I have always remembered all of you. I remember your Mother, she was a beautiful woman. I have always held dear, what a beautiful family of children she had. I grew up admiring the older girls and fascinated by the younger children. Augie and Johnny I remember well, I can picture them out in the yard with their father. I can picture Johnny with his dark crop of hair and handsome smiling face when he was just a young boy. Clara and Theresa were toddlers. Whenever I would go home, we would ride by your house to see if I could see any of you. Just recently I lived in Sch'dy for a while. One day we saw someone in your yard. I pulled over and there was Johnny, walking towards the car. I was thrilled to see him again. He said you had all just visited recently. He knew my name and remembered me. That was also thrilling. He bent down, leaned on the car window and spent time talking with us. It started to rain but he paid no attention. He brought back beautiful memories of a beautiful family. He represented all of you well, with his warm, kind, beautiful manner. Beautiful people, inside and out. We continued to go by Johnny's house, now waving and smiling and other times stopped and chatted again. At times I'd see him with Scotty and yell and wave "Hi Johnny" and he'd give that beautiful smile and friendly ?Hello Bonnie? back. I cherish my memories of all of you. I learned this evening of Johnny's passing. I am so very, very sad to learn of this. I will remember Johnny well; I will remember his kindness, his warmth and his interest in so many things. I'll remember most that he brought all of you back and all my great memories back just by being himself. May God hold Johnny in the hollow of his hand and give him the Blessings Johnny so appeared to give others just in knowing him. I think he brightened many lives besides mine. May you find peace in knowing others care, that others hold a piece of Johnny in their heart, even for long periods of time and always will. Sincerely, Bonnie Dinsmore Czaban

The brief time that I was able to spend with Johnny was a pleasure. When I spoke with him, he always had a smile on his face. Even though I did not have a long-time experiences with him, what I did have was very rewarding. I think he was a type of person you could spend a short time with and learn to love him. May God bless his soul.

Johnny is our great-uncle. We are sorry for your/our loss. From all of the funny & great stories that mom has always told us, we feel that we missed out. We know that my mom's interest in motorcycles started with Uncle Augie & Johnny. May you have peace in knowing that he was well-loved and spoken of with great words.

I am sorry that I wasn't able to be with all of you. Bernadette has shared with me so many wonderful and funny stories of all of you and in particular, Johnny. From these stories, I have wished I had the opportunity to have known him better. Bernadette developed a love for motorcycles because of her younger years with her uncles Augie and Johnny. I've been a long-time biker, so when we met, it was only appropriate that we ride together. All of our future rides will be for Johnny. Ride with the wind Johnny.

It is hard to express my feelings of sadness with John's sudden passing, as I'm sure is the case with many who knew him. I have been blessed to have known him, blessed to call him my friend. I hold many happy memories of working with him at IGC. His laughter, his smile, his mechanical mind and what a jokester he was at times.

There are great numbers of people whose memories of John are so much deeper than mine...but I love you, Augie, Barb, Sarah & Gus, and I remember John sweetly, in good humor and in good times. Both Jay and I are here for you in any capacity and for always. Only this veil seems to separate us from those who have gone beyond it. In truth, we are still and always together. Peace and love, Colleen
