Dear Loretta and family - I am saddened to hear about the passing of John. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I always enjoyed talking to John. He loved life and most all his family. May he rest in peace.

There are no words to express the depth of our sympathy. John was very special to us and we care deeply for your family's loss. We'll always treasure our vacation memories, especially our "sea camping" adventure. May the love that surrounds you lighten your burden and give you strength. Rest in peace John.

Our deepest condolences to Loretta and her family on the loss of John. I knew John since first grade at St. Pat's. Great husband, great dad, great granddad and great friend. We are profoundly saddened by the loss of a long time friend, who we shared so many great moments with.

Our deepest sympathy to the Oettinger family. Will always remember the good times we shared growing up through the St. Patricks' school system.

Loretta and the entire Oettinger family: My deepest condolences on your loss. John was a great guy. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with him since 1988. What a great man, devoted to his wife, kids, grandkids, travel and enjoying life. He will be missed. Joshua

God bless you during this very difficult time. Dominick Cimino and family

May John rest in peace. He will be missed. We have so many fond memories of fun times with the children growing up especially our barbecues.
