    Melita, Tammy and Tom,
    I am so saddened to hear of the passing of your Dad. I have nothing but wonderful memories of both your parents when I used to come over to your house when I was a kiddo. Our Dads are like the superheroes of our childhood. They always know how to fix things, they always know what to do and offer the words of wisdom we sometimes don’t want to hear. As hard as it is to lose him in this life, give thanks to our heavenly father for giving him to you as YOUR dad and for the lives he has touched in his 76 years on this earth. The next time you see him he will be the young handsome healthy man you remember.
    With love,
    Cheri (Gunter) Chesney

    Remembering the “special” times that we shared will be embedded in my heart and soul. May God hold you in the palm of his hands now that you have found your everlasting peace and comfort.

    I’ve known the Bommarito family for many years , my deepest sympathy to Laura, the kids & the grandchildren . John started out as my brother John’s friend and quickly became my friend as well . You will be missed John 🙏🏻❤️

    A piece of my heart died when you passed. We had so many years and so many memories. I hope you’re up there dancing and you’re in peace. My prayer is that you’re with all the family and I hope you give them all a hug for me. Fly high dear old friend, husband and partner, I’ll see you later.
