When we first met we were at Brookdale Park. There he was standing on the rocks.My friend said, "Who's that gorgeous guy?" That moment, he walked over & smiled at me & looked deep into my eyes with his beautiful blue eyes. I thought I would faint. He was so good looking. That was when I was 15 years old.
When I was 17, I took my SAT's at PV & he came to pick me up. Again all of the girls wanted to know who that good looking guy was. I said, "My boyfriend." They said, "Wow."
John was a true romantic. He would give me cards with Love written on them & a beautiful rose on them. He would write B.B. & J.J. all of the time on cards & even carved our initials in trees. He was my 1st true love, my astrological twin, my & soul mate. Sometimes I swear we had the same sensitive heart & soul. One look at each other & we would truly understand everything. It's hard going on without him....
Another fond young memory of us & also romantic was when he picked me up, actually on a bicycle driving it all the way to my house in West Paterson. Do you know he drove me all the way on the handlebars to his house in Paterson? He had a transistor radio playing "Swear to God" By Frankie Valley playing. I was head over heals.
We would enjoy long walks in the park together holding hands. We loved nature together. We enjoyed music together.
We would go on vacations to Wildwood & to the Poconos when we needed to relax.
My last really good time with him we went to Continental Arena with Sandy & Angela go an Aerosmith concert. It was fun.
I loved him so much. He remains in my heart forever & ever.

Hey Daddy, I was sitting around & thinking about how you made fun of me for really loving only one song by Megadeath...
I started picking random songs by them & this is the one I picked today. It really reminded me of how crazy we both are! <3 I miss you!
Ps. Here are the lyrics & the song. I know you'll love it. I will be covering when I start doing shows again!
"Addicted to Chaos" By Megadeath
'So I chose a Megadeath song at Random tonight & this is the one that came on... This exactly how I have been feeling since Daddy died... Such a perfect song for me to cover! I never even thought of it until tomorrow! NEW project! Yes!
Only yesterday they told me you were gone...
All these normal people, will I find another one?
Monkey on my back, Aching my bones...
I forgot you said "One day you'll walk alone"
I said I need you, does that make me wrong?
Am I a weak man, are you feeling strong?
My heard was blackened, It's bloody red
A hole in my heart, a hole in my head!
Who will help me up?
Where's the helping hand?
Will you turn on me?
Is this my final stand?
In a dream I cannot see
Tangled abstract fallacy
Random turmoil builds in me
I'm addicted to chaos
Lights shined on my path,
Turn bad days into good.
Turn breakdowns into blocks, I smashed 'em Cause I could.
My brain was Labored, My head would spin...
Don't let me down! Don't give up! Don't give in!
The rain comes down, cold wind blows...
The plans we made are back up on the road.
Turn up my collar, welcome the unknown.
Remember that you said, "One day you'll walk alone"
Who will help me up?
Where's the helping hand?
Will you turn on me?
Is this my final stand?
In a dream I cannot see
Tangled abstract fallacy.
Random turmoil builds in me
I'm addicted to chaos!
Check out the video too man! I love you!

Dad, I missed you tonight. I threw you the ultimate party & didn't let them lower your music. Buddy, what am I going to do without you? My whole life revolved around the times we had together. The hurt & loneliness that I feel is worse than ever. Today was ok, but I know day after day I am going to cry for you the way I did when you were still alive & I was only away for a a day or two. I feel like I have no protection now & no one to defend me. You were so amazing at making me feel safe. I can't sleep right now & I'd wish you'd come down in your cute little slippers & your robe & sit next to me. If I could relive my life with you I would have been there for you more. I tried my best but I guess it wasn't enough. My heart is aching for Dad time. I was crying real hard for you today. I needed you to stand up for me again but I couldn't call you. God, I can't believe your gone. It all feels like a dream. Your magic will live on through me, I just pray I can find a way to have your strength too.

JOHNNY, YOU WERE THE FIRST BROTHER THAT I EVER HAD, (BLOOD BROTHERS ON OTILLIO'S BRIDGE.) IN THE WORLD WE LATER GREW UP IN, A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO REALLY KNOW YOU. YOU WERE THE ORIGINAL MAVERICK OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SOME MEMORIES ARE; CONFISCATING FIRECRACKERS OUT OF THE TOP SHELF OF YOUR FATHERS HALL CLOSET AND GOING UP THE WOODS TO BLOW UP ANYTHING WE WANTED TO. GIVING ME A BOOST TO REACH THE FIRE BOX AFTER BETTING ME A MILLION DOLLARS THAT I WOULD NOT PULL IT. (YOU LOST). YOU WERE THE LEADER OF THE PACK. REST IN PEACE JOHNNY...........CHUCKIE WALKER

Hi Daddy, it's me again. I am performing for you tomorrow. I was nervous but then I remembered how you laughed in my face & told me how talented I was & how I should never be nervous. I am sorry I got so upset that day. I know now that you only meant well. I miss you again tonight. I was thinking about when I took you to see Cactus for Father's Day & how you said it was the best father's day gift ever. I didn't know that it was going to be your last Father's Day gift ever. Remember when Carmine let us hit the trash can with him? Do you remember when you held the camera backwards when you were taking a picture of Carmine & I & Carmine said, "What is he wasted?" We all laughed because you didn't have anything to drink at all that night. You were just my silly Daddy! You were always like Ozzy & ironically enough Ozzy's real name is John Michael Osbourne. You were always so funny & always did silly things. You broke all of the glasses & plates in our house by mistake. It was so cute. You were never good at repairing things around the house, but that is what I loved about you even though I seemed frustrated. You always accidentally threw out silverware because we eat off of paper plates & use paper cups. We as a family are just so weird, but it was always great. I am so glad you were my Dad & I didn't have some jerky Dad that wore a suit & tie everyday. You were so much better than any Father in the world. I know you knew that. I loved how when I would wake up late in the afternoon & you'd call up to me, "San? Are you staying up?" I'd say, "Yeah..." & you'd say, "Good, because I want to listen to a record..." I'd get myself together, brush my teeth & come down & you were just there, waiting to show me a great new musical experience. Dad, you were the coolest. No one will ever replace you. I don't know what I am going to do. I wish this were all a bad dream. This is my worst nightmare come true... Being stuck with a bunch of squares... God! Everyone is just so dry & unfeeling compared to you. Life is certainly going to boring without you. My heart is sincerely broken & I think that a certain someone was right about me... I am going to be alone for the rest of my life...
Being without my Dad = Being alone...
I no longer have my best buddy... I don't feel I have one completely true friend left in this world...
I love you... I love you more you so much more than anybody I have ever known & ever will know. I will truly never meet anyone as cool as you.

John,
What can I say my love? I don't know what I am going to do without you. We still had so much to do & see together. You deserved more happiness in your life, darling. I see your shoes & your New York Yankees hat & all of your records, & I just can't believe you're gone. I thought you had much more time, my love.
When I was 15, I fell so much in love with you that I wrote you, not one poem, but a whole book of poetry. They were all dedicated to you, my love, my sweetheart. I just found them. If only I could tell you again how much I love you. My heart is broken, my little Johnny, my baby. You were funny & cute. You had a great wit & personality about you. We loved to cuddle & hold hands & take walks in the park.
I hope so much that you're finally at peace & you're close to the Lord in Heaven. You deserve it. You were too kind & sensitive & so sweet & loving. That's what I loved about you. But you were way too hard on yourself. Also people were way too hard on you. You were a wonderful father & husband, my music man. It made you so happy!!! My beautiful handsome, special guy. You were so cool & we loved each other so much, in spite of everything. You don't deserve this honey.
Love Forever My Darling,
Barbara

Our daughter Angela always spoke so highly of John, we felt like we knew him well. Angela said he treated her like his second daughter. My husband knew he had a strong faith in God, and although he will be sorely missed, it is a comfort to know he is at peace.
Our prayers are for his family during their time of grief. May God give you comfort.

My dear friends,
I am deeply sorry to learn that John did not recover. It is so hard to reconcile the deaths of our brothers and sisters -so young, still so much to do, still so much we wanted to say to them. We can be consoled by having loved them as best we could and trust that now they know even better than do we how much we cared.
You are in my prayers for peace.

Daddy, I miss you so much right now. Usually you'd come downstairs & hang out with me if I couldn't sleep. You would put on a nice relaxing record or watch Howard Stern with me & we'd talk about how much fun we were going to have going to concerts or how much fun we had in the past. I'll never forget meeting & hanging out with Vanilla Fudge with you. I'll never forget how the music you played me influenced me to just go ahead & meet rock stars & be their pals. Dad, you were the best Dad in the whole entire world. You didn't judge me for being different. You never grounded me. You made me feel cool & secure about who I am. When we fought you'd forgive me the next day. You spenT most of your inheritance money on me this past year. You were never selfish. Thank you so much for that. Almost everyday you'd bring a special snack home for me. I wish we would have had the chance to eat those italian cookies we picked out the day before you really died two weeks ago. Dad, I miss you. I need you & I can't seem to stop crying without you. I thought we had another 20 years left together. Who is going to be on the same wave length as me? What am I going to do with myself now? Dad, don't you understand that I would leave my friends & come home early just to be with you because you were 1,000 times cooler than any of them? Why did you have to leave? I always wanted to be by your side. You promised me you wouldn't go so soon. Oh Daddy, why did you have to be so sensitive? Your feelings were so hurt the night before this happened. Didn't you no that no matter what, Mom & I loved you? We were going to be a family again & do our own thing. We were going to have fun again & be at peace. Your job was really working out & our lives were finally falling into place. You promised me the day before this all happened that nothing & no one will ever hurt me as long as you are around. Now what Dad? I am so scared without you. What did your last words mean when I screamed, "Daddy No! Daddy I need you" & you said, "I need you too..." I thought you were going to stick around so I could take care of you too. I miss you more than anything, Dad. It's been an awful two weeks, I don't know what the rest of my life is going to be like without you. Please stay with me in spirit & meet me in my dreams so I am not so scared anymore. Love your Daughter/Daddy's Girl, Sandy
