I knew John and his family mainly through baseball. John and I always played for different teams during baseball season but frequently played as teammates on All-Star teams. John and his family were passionate about baseball and we had countless good times competing. I didn't have any contact with John since we graduated, that makes me sad thinking of all the joyful memories we have had we weren't able to share. Rest In Peace John.

I knew John since our School 16 days. The Passonnos lived on Pinewoods across from the Kidders. Lots of fun. May he rest in peace.

Hi Steve (and everyone):
I can almost say ditto to your comments. We moved to the Crossway area in 1955. I have a picture
of my kindergarten class (School 16) and John is in it. Many in the picture graduated from School 16 and Troy High, also.
It's been many years since seeing John. He may have lived in the Syracuse area, not sure. I do see his
brother, Ralph, occasionally in the Troy area. Ralph did an auction for us a long time ago.
I guess time marches on. Take care.
