I am so sorry to hear about John's passing. I enjoyed working with him at the Star-Gazette, where he was a positive light in the newsroom. My sincere condolences to John's family.

My condolences to John’s family and friends. He started at the paper as a clerk in Sports when I was sports editor, and he was up for any challenge that came his way. He showed a nice touch with the features that he wrote — not part of a clerk’s duties — and before long he graduated to the Neighbors column, one of the key roles at the Star-Gazette. I miss his sense of humor, his willingness to accept any assignment and his eagerness to learn. Rest In Peace, buddy.

My heart and prayers go out to my cousins, Anne, Dave, Nora and Jenn. My favorite childhood memories are of the nine of us altogether on birthdays and holidays. We must have made our parents nuts. Johnny was a man of words and faith . I know he believed in the power of prayer. So I offer up
A prayer of strength to all of you that you may support each other through this difficult time. Have faith that he is watching over all of you. Love, Patty

To Anne, David, Nora, Jenn and all the Cleary-Gaughan family, I’m so sorry for your loss of John. My fond memories are of him, and all of you, as kids. If your mother Margaret and dad John; my mother Elizabeth; my Aunt Edie and Uncle Marty Gaughan; cousin Mary Ann Gaughan Grant and Gram Anna Gaughan Thompson have anything to say about it, there’s a very lively game of euchre going on in Heaven right about now. I’m keeping all of you in my prayers, that our Lord will give you His peace that surpasses all understanding at this time of sorrow. Love to you all, Your Cousin, Mary Beth
