John was a customer and then, a coworker. He spread joy, always greeting me with a big smile and making me smile too. My sympathies to the family.

I worked with John for many years in the audit lab at Xerox – when it used to be a great company. John had a wonderful sense of humor! He kept
everyone laughing thru some long 12 hour work days.
He loved his grand children, mentioning them often.
Sincere sympathy to his family.
John was a great friend to my father, Jim Battaglia, especially when he was suffering with als/Lou Gehrig’s disease. Such a kind, positive soul that was always there for him. Saddened to hear of his passing. My sympathies go out to his family, who I’m sure know what a great man he was.
I was so saddened to hear of John’s passing. I remember my husband Jim and I spending many good times with him and Bonnie during the height of the Xerox era., He was a good friend to Jim when he needed him the most. I’ll always remember his great smile and generous spirit. My sincere condolences to Bonnie and family. Rest in peace, John.
