“It is with a sad heart that I write this on behalf of my dad and our family. John was apart of all of our lives as we all were apart of the Sanitation Family. Let me share a vision of what today might look like....John and Vinny standing at the bar of the Roosevelt Hotel, both in their Green Dress Uniforms waiting for the St. Patrick's Day Parade to begin....John, May you be forever surrounded by friends and family and smile upon those left behind.
