John was most known for his love of Christmas and created the most epic and amazing display of inflatables and lights at his home each year. Families from around town and afar visited his home annually and also appreciated John’s genuine care for seeing everyone be part of his Christmas spirit. He especially loved Malverne’s Tree Lighting Day, where many families would come by to see the display that was his pride and joy, and he was outside interacting with them all. He loved his family most. He shared his love of reading with Robert and would often go with him to Barnes and Nobles. He also shared his love of sports with Daniel, especially baseball, often helping coach Daniel's Malverne Little League team He was a dedicated husband and father. There is nothing he would not do for his boys. He enjoyed doing things with them mostly going to Disney World almost every year like he did when he was a child. His legacy will be his Christmas display, but to his family and friends he will always be remembered as a caring person who was always there to lend a helping hand especially to his sons.
