Condolences
John, 10 years have gone by that we haven't heard your sweet, contagious laughter. How I miss those days. You certainly were a handful trying to get you to conform to work life at NY Tel, and I enjoyed seeing you every day growing up and maturing. How I used to laugh when you figured out your expenses vs pay, but you were spot on, need to prepare for the future. I know it wasn't said enough, but I loved you so much and still miss you and think about you often. Travis and Kyle know you have their back and protect them every day. Keep watch over your boys, Jackie, Lynne, Janet and me always. Love you JT, from JT(P)
John, Over a year has past and, my sweet brother -- life simply isn't the same without you here...! Will always honor you and cherish your gifts to us all. I say the Chaplet of Divine Mercy each Wednesday, the day you left us. He "Walks with Jesus" now.
Janet, I am so very sorry and send all best thoughts to you and your family. Please let me know if I can help you in any way. All best, Hilary

John, You touched our lives in a special way! You had that infectious smile! We will always cherish our time together. I hope to God that you will be there at the Pearly Gates to greet me. God needed an Angel or you'd still be here. I promised you that I would look after Jackie and the boys if anything happened. I'll be here for them. In ending we always said "Luv u Cuz. Gotta Love me!

Dear Jackie, Travis and Kyle: No words can really express the sorrow I feel for you and the passing of John, but I know he is in Heaven looking down on all of us, and he will continue to look after you with the same love that he gave you during his life here on earth. I will always love and remember John. Just a few weeks ago, me and my son went with John, Andy Graffia and their sons on a camping trip, that was also a reunion for us after many years John had arranged. It was a special gift from John that I will always remember. He made me feel loved and he reminded me how great our childhood was. He gave me and my son, Joseph, the chance to hangout with him, Travis, Kyle, Andy and AJ, as we shared stories about the old days. We all had loads of fun. John was one of my best friends from 6th through 11th grades. He always stuck up for me. He gave me his paper route. Him and his father took me to my first Mets game. He had a great curveball. He always treated me fair and with respect. My parents loved him. Those times with John are some of the happiest of my life. After I moved out of the neighborhood, I would always think of those times, but it was John, after we lost touch for many years, who picked up the phone and reconnected with me a few years ago. He made me laugh for hours talking about old times. John reminded me to love life and to cherish time spent with family and friends. I am truly blessed to have known John.
IM sitting here in disbelief that my best friend is gone. Myself & my family will miss you dearly & never forget you!Through this past year he proved again why he was a great man. Ive known john for 43 yrs since im 5 yrs old. Its going to be hard not to hear that laugh.Im so glad that we got to go camping together & see his boys grow up the past ten yrs. We had so muuuuch fun. Its an honor to have known him! Love andrew & graffia family

TO JACKIE, KYLE AND MY GODSON TRAVIS I WAS TRYING TO PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER, BUT I WOUND UP WITH A MINI SERIES. SO MUCH TO REMEMBER, SO MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES, ALL THE HYSTERICAL LAUGHS, THE TEARS, THE JOYS OF INTERACTING WITH HIS TOO SHORT A LIFE. TO ME JOHN WAS THE SON I NEVER HAD SINCE THE DAY HE WAS BORN AND THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE. HE LOVED HIS SONS TRAVIS & KYLE AND HIS WIFE JACKIE MORE THAN LIFE, AND HE FOUGHT THAT CANCER LIKE A MAN WITH A MISSION TO GIVE HIS FAMILY ONE MORE GREAT YEAR TO REMEMBER. I WILL REALLY MISS HIM, AND I THANK HIM FOR ALL THE JOY AND LOVE HE GAVE TO ME AND JOHN AND THE REST OF OUR FAMILY, AND TO THOSE THAT KNEW HIM. HE WAS A VERY SPECIAL MAN, HE GAVE HIS LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY, AND DID NOT JUDGE ANYONE, A VERY SPECIAL MAN! I WILL REALLY MISS YOU JOHN, LOVE YOU ALWAYS BILL

I have been so truly blessed with such an amazing brother who has taught me so much about the value of family, devotion, respect and laughter, and sharing every part of his world with me -- even his very last moments. I'm sure all those with him "till the end" will agree, John, Jackie, Travis & Kyle, all -- without hesitation -- opened their hearts as wide as possible and allowed us to be a part of such a very private moment. This was both the most excruciating -- and at the same time -- the most beautiful experience I have ever gone through, as we all stood together and lifted John -- with nothing but the pure love from deep within our hearts, to help him get to the other side. Thank you my sweet, sweet brother for all the wonderful gifts of life you so unselfishly gave to me and for allowing me to be part of your life. You have taught us all how to laugh and love from our heart and my heart and soul are so much bigger because a very big part of you is within me and will always be. Till we meet again in heaven.....
From all the Q's of Brooklyn (extended Quagliato family far and near) - our deepest sympathy in this loss of our first Q cousin.
He is the greatest loss we have ever had to endure. We were not just family, we were friends. He showed us all how to laugh and have a good time. Frank will be lost now without his buddy. He left us with 2 beautiful boys to carry on his legacy. We will hold them in our hearts. We will sit with them and reminisce and keep his spirit alive. We can remind each other of all the great times we shared with him. Thank you for that. Jackie, Travis and Kyle we all have to be strong and just help each other get through this. He is watching and helping you get through this and all your challenges. He is your guardian angel. Try and be as strong as he would want you to be. His memory will be alive forever! We Love you Geri & Frank
