I know John through the Fiorillo family. He was a kind and giving person. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family in this time.
JOHN WAS A KIND AND GOOD MAN WHO ENJOYED LIFE AND PEOPLE. HE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL
John was perhaps the most postitive thinking person we have known. Whenever you asked him, “How are you doing, John?” His reply was “Fantastic! but getting better every day!” We have many fond memories, of sifting sand, polishing cars and his colorful taste in shoes. We will think of him often, and smile. We will miss him terribly, he was a wonderful man. Our prayers are with his family, as always.
Wishing I could have spent more time knowing this great man.My Heart goes out to all that loved him and miss him
Love

John Farrell, with his lovely wife LeeAnn at his side, embraced me into their family and kept me there—-feeling loved and cared for. He was such a caring individual, remembering all of his many friends and family intimately, making each of us feel very special and loved. He will be missed on daily basis
John was a customer of mine for many years, Georgetown License.
My husband was also on the carrier Lexington, CV-16.
Bon Voyage, Johnny! Laura
I remember as a young boy delivering papers in the mid 1970’s to Mr.Farrells residence off DesMoines Drive. He was always friendly and struck up conversation with me. Later in life I started a career as an auto mechanic and subsequently started a repair business. Mr Farrell allowed my shop to service the vehicles at his storage business. We will miss a great man!
We miss u so much!!!!
