I have known John and Maryanne for a few years now, and it breaks my heart that he had to leave us. He was so kind to my daughter Molly and just a real nice guy. He and Maryanne were so happy together and it showed. My best memory is last 4th of July , Molly, my Dad and I were invited to the wonderful fireworks display at their home. It was awesome. For my father it was the first time meeting John and he went away that night saying what a great group of people they are , and to this day he was always asking about John.
My heart goes out to Maryanne and his family, I will miss him.

I cannot say much more than what has already been said by most. I was fortunate enough to see John one last time while I was home from Afghanistan. I only wish I had more time to tell him about all the things I have seen in my travels. I think of John often as well as the rest of the C. Marino family; knowing that there was true-kind-hearted man there keep an eye over my father. Someone who was there to confide in, to make you laugh and some times give you a different point of view on things. John you always be remembered by all as well as me. Thank you for everything you have done and everything you have shown me. You will truely be missed

John was a great friend who will be greatly missed. He is in a better place yet the world is a lesser place with the loss of him. He was an inspiration and his memory will remain with me until we meet again. Thanks for being a friend John. Thanks for being you! Love ya "Pal". Always loved it when he called me that! LOL

We built a house in the Poconos in 1993 and although I lived in Jersey only 10 miles from John I never knew him then. I would go to breakfast almost every day here in Pa and always heard people talk about a man named Johhny D with praise and admiration for this man. One day I asked a waitress who he was and she told me to just turn around as he was sitting behind me. He overheard me asking about him and invited me to eat with him.We talked for about an hour telling him I was a police officer in jersey for almost 30 years only 10 miles from his home in Totowa. From that day on Johnny would always take the time to say hello and talk whenever he saw me. Right from the start I knew Johnny was a special man who could make a friend in any place anytime and I was privlidged to know him.He was a man who always was there to help anyone if they needed it and never asked for anything in return. I did a couple jobs for him at his house and he refused to let me do the job unless he paid me to do it. He said it would be an insult if I didn't take anything. This is the kind of man Johnny was. Although we are all saddened in losing Johnny, I know Heaven is a better place with him there. I am sure he is smiling and is probably helping everyone there.
Good Bye my friend, you will never be forgotten.

7 years ago, I became a part of the C. Marino family. I have never worked for two more giving individuals than John & Tony. If at anytime you needed something all you had to do was ask, that still holds true today. Everyday there was always laughter, and lessons to be learned. I myself have learned many not from only those two men, but all those who have passed through its doors. I have always felt like part of John's family because that was his way. Our strongest bond formed about a year and a half ago when "IT" became a part of our lives. I knew at that moment without question or hesitation I wanted to be there for him and we would get through it together. I made a promise to myself that day to never let him see my cry, and kept it till today, because I know he would yell at me. Every trip to a doctor's appointment or treatment was never gloomy, he would sing along to whatever was playing on the radio, and still to this day I hear it when I drive to work every morning - which always brings a smile to my face. I would sit with him through his long hours of treatments without complaint and his concern was always for me and making sure that I was okay. His love for life, his family & friends was endless. His life lessons were shared by all of us that were fortunate enough to have known him. I myself am honored to be one of those people, and with that I will say......If I had the chance to do it all again....I would....in a heartbeat. Sleep peacefully Johnny D and "Tell em where you got it"

Dear “Uncle� John,
While I have only known you a short time I quickly realized just how great of a person you are. From the first time that I meet you, you were always joking around and had a quick a witty response to whatever was being said. Over time, every time “Collie� brought up your name her face would light up with joy and laughter and one of the legendary Uncle Johnny stories was about to be told. Just knowing you has made me a better person with the many life lessons that your actions have taught me. As the song says “I’ve lived a life that is full. I’ve traveled each and every highway; and more, much more than this, I did it my way.�
I wish I had more time to get to know you but as they say "only the good die young"

Memories....they are many, from his booming voice to his twinkling eyes. He was "Uncle
Johnny Di" to my children, even though we are not blood related. He treated by mom, "Aunt Ellie" like a second mom...He was family to us all and each and every one will miss him awful.

We met John later in his life and had the opportunity to visit with him as I am the sister-in-law of MaryAnn. Her brother and I live in Williamsport, PA. During the visit, John and I realized we had something in common. He and I went to Catholic school. What a blast sharing memories of our experiences! John then came up with a new name for me. Being Veronica, nickname of Roni, he decided to call me Sister V. That never changed.
On his first visit to our home, after eating Gary's cooking, he told Gary to retire and move to the Poconos to be his personal cook.
Lets not forget the spectacular fireworks display we witnessed one Labor Day week-end which he set off for family and friends. We have never seen anything like it. Awesome!
Attending John's surprise 60th birthday party was another highlight for us. Seeing the love for this man by all his family and friends gathered in that room told you how special John was to everyone. Many tributes were paid to him that night but one that sticks in my mind was made by Rachel. John was spending more time at his home in the Pocono Mountains and she referred to him as "The Man of the Mountain". How appropriate!
We will dearly miss you "Johnny D.". Our lives have been enriched for having met you. We will never forget you. You blessed us with your charm, your wit, your kindness, your generosity, your smile. From Day 1, you treated us just like family. Even when you were at your worst, you seemed more concerned about us and how we were doing. God Bless You, dear friend.
Our sympathy to you, Johnny, all your family members, MaryAnn and daughters. You will be sorely missed by all the lives you touched. MaryAnn, we thank you for bringing this remarkable man into our lives.
With Love and Prayers,
Sister V. and Gary

George posted a condolence
Uncle John, you have been so brave and courageous these past two years . Never showing any of us how much you may have been hurting. That wasn’t your way, it was more important for you to make everyone around you smile and laugh. It was you who always reminded us that life is meant to be enjoyed and that the envelope always needs to be pushed. You were always generous, especially with your love and your time. I have always taken great comfort in knowing you were always there for all of us, and that I will truly miss. Memories of a lifetime fill my heart with happiness for all that we shared; trips to Kiddie Land or the arcade, riding ATVs on the weekend, going for ice cream, shopping “up the ramp� or just sitting around the warehouse and talking with you. You taught us valuable life lessons and the importance of looking out for each other as family should. It was obvious that you enjoyed doing these things more than we did, for it was the smiles on our faces that brought you satisfaction. I take great pride in calling you Uncle and am blessed to have been loved by you. Sharon and I pray for you, Devyn and Kacey will miss you and we will always keep you in our hearts. Thank You for Everything and “Tell ‘em where you got it�

Every week after my belly dancing class, I would go upstairs and see John's smiling face. My mom adored him. You felt like a member of his family in his home. His fireworks display was out of this world. I will miss him very much, but know in my heart he is still with us until we meet again. Love you John, Heaven will never be the same.

Mr.D was one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known. I consider myself beyond lucky to have known him, loved him, and been loved by him. When he loved you, you knew it. (And when he didn't, you knew that, too!) "Dad", you will be missed more than I'll ever be able to express. Rest in peace.

Johnnie and I grew up in Paterson, he on Madison St., me on Beech St. We went to St. Anthony's together and became friends. Over time our paths have crossed and those times were always kind and friendly. Our kids went to PV together together and we would talk about old times at various parent's nights. To his son, his brother George and the rest of the DiPasquale family, my sincere condolences on your loss.
