We were very saddened to learn of John's passing. We just spoke to him about a month ago because we always still kept in touch from New Rochelle. He was our TV repairman. John was a warm, thoughtful person. We were happy when (our names for Annie and John were Dolly Cakes and Johnny Boy) they were in town to visit and we had them stay overnight with us. Will surely miss his phone conversations. Rest in peace Johnny Boy, with your lovely Dolly Cakes.

I’m so so sad to hear of Mr Witkowski’s passing. It breaks my heart to see him go but I’m so happy he is now with Annie! I met them both in the hospital in 2018 and have loved him since! He was the sweetest, cutest man! Whenever he had an appointment he would stop by my office to give me a scratch off. I swore to him I f I win we are all going to go on a vacation! RIP Mr Witkowskii. I will surely miss you

We are so sorry to hear of your Dad' passing.
Your mom was in the ladies quilt group so your dad was around quite a bit. She was so much fun to be around and loved everyone no matter what, same with your dad. We will him so much as we do your mom. He and the other husbands would gather in another room a few times during the year while the ladies did their sewing and "gossiping". They had to catch up on the possip to. They were lovely people. Special thoughts a prayers go out to all of you.

Uncle John was my Pop's Brother, and when my Pop passed in 94; Uncle John treated me like a son. My wife Felicia & I would several times go see him but every Sunday we would call and it was great. He would talk about the things my Pop use to do. Uncle John and Aunt Dolly made us comfortable and she would mail us cookies. We will miss him a lot. But now Uncle John & Aunt Dolly are together in Heaven watching over all of our families. God Bless you.

I wish to extend my deepest condolences to John's family. John & my husband, Tony, N2GVB, knew each other through the radio club. When my husband passed away in Sept. 2018, John became a special friend & support to me. I'll miss his emails, his sense of humor & his caring friendship. Rest in peace, John, I hope you are now with Annie where you wanted to be.
