What a wonderful man – – and family. Just crushing to hear of John’s untimely death. He always had a smile and was always showing his beautiful face to the world even though, I am sure, he was in terrible pain. John put up an intense fight for his life and I am so very, very, sorry he lost this battle. We in Serenoa lost a beautiful neighbor.

I have so many fond memories of John. After college at Georgetown, I moved to Vero Beach. John and I spent a lot of time together from water skiing in the canals at Port St Lucie to hitting the beach. It was one of the best times in my life. I will miss my friend. My condolences to the entire Martinelli Family.
