My heart and love goes out to the Mahoney Family for the loss of their father John who treated me as one of his own ever since we met some 45 years ago in the old neighborhood in N.Y.C. Anyone who has met Joan & John and the family, you become a member of their family, and should consider yourselves lucky. I will not sorrow in his death but Celebrate! the life he lived. John was not only a veteran, but a great husband, father, and grandfather & great-grandfather. The proof is John & Joan's 11 beautiful children who they raised, who now themselves are great fathers, mothers and grandparents and friends to anyone they meet.
To the Family, your father is going where he belongs now with his lovely wife Joan.
God Bless,
I Love You All
John Pagliaro

We were all so sad to hear of your dad's passing. We send our sincere sympathy to all of you. I will always remember seeing him come to the front of the house to pick up the mail and we would exchange a friendly hello and have a short conversation. He was such a kind and gentle man and will be missed by this neighbor. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Your neighbors,

He was strong, stubborn, proud to the nth degree, generous, caring, and most of all, funny. Sarcastic, dry funny. He made me laugh everyday and that alone would make him laugh. He got a kick out of his own sense of humor. Family was what he lived for. I don't think he would have lived as long as he did if it wasn't for his family and his desire to stay with us. He told me not too long ago, a caution really, that he wasn't going to live forever. He made references to the inevitable fairly frequently in the past several months. I think he was trying to prepare us for his departure. He knew he was loved beyond words and that his passing would break our hearts and that bothered him. So, this is why I say he held on longer than he wanted to. For us. I'll remember our childhood, how we'd wait for him after work, to turn the corner onto our street "daddy's home", especially sweet when we weren't in trouble for something. The Christmas mornings, lined up outside the closed living room doors, in order of age, youngest to oldest, waiting for Mom and Dad to open the door to a Christmas wonderland of gifts and a spectacular Christmas tree. The sleigh rides in central park. The picnics in one park or another because Dad thought it was too hot for Mom to cook. The trips to Aunt Marion and Uncle Harry's, who fortunately for us lived on Bertrand Island, home to the most off the map amusement park. The Sunday trips with Dad to Aunt Nora's house in queens where we were completely indulged. Camping in the Catskills a few times a year, with not just his own children, but so many of our friends. Talk about overloading a vehicle; several large tents, at least 8 of his own children, 3 or 4 cousins, 4 or 5 friends. All because Dad couldn't say no. He loved, or at least liked, everyone. Unless you tried to hurt his family. That would happen once and you were done. No forgiving, no forgetting. He adopted all our friends as family. If we loved them, he did too. As easy as he was with us, we also knew that we'd better not push him. No was no. No explanation other than "because I said so" was ever given. The stare was killer. If you got the stare, you lost. Period. The party's, the arm around the neck "did I ever tell you about the time", the Irish records, Vera Lynn, Tony Bennett. and Nat King Cole. Dad at the stove making the most amazing food Sunday after Sunday. His gravy. His Turkey Gravy. Devine. His love for my mother and her mother, her sisters, their husbands and their children. His love for his own brothers and sisters, their spouses and their children. My father had a wealth of love in him and has received the same in kind. There's not enough space to share the stories, but if you were lucky enough to know my father, then you know many of the stories, and wasn't he special? An old soul, wise and knowing. He'll be missed beyond description, but his love for us and ours for him will be with us always.

Dear Sharon and family,
I'm so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I have many fond memories of being at your house in high school and their kindness was always there. After you had moved away I used to stop by and talk to your parents. Awesome people! Many prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
In Christ's love,

I fondly remember all of the stories Uncle Johnny would tell me of the old days and I can hear his gentle voice in my mind. I loved him as if he were my Uncle and he always warmly welcomed me. I'm so thankful to have had the chance to know such a wonderful man. You will live on forever in my heart.
Love,

I really didn't get to know dad well until I moved back from Boston and starting coming around the "Big House". I would often bring Joanie flowers, and I think to dad, this simple act, which was almost mandatory in my mind, really affected him in a sense that it clearly made Joanie happy, so that made him happy. It was no time at all before I started calling him 'dad' (Chuck would call him pops, loved that) and I spent a lot of nights back then, at the table in the kitchen, all hours of the night and wee hours of the morning listening to the tales, relishing in learning about his early years. I heard it all.
Dad was solid. Tough and kind in the same moment, charismatic with a mischievous grin and a paperboy cap. At 80 yrs old, he would shake my hand and my knuckles would crack like popcorn.
But surely, his one greatest accomplishment in life, after marrying Joanie, was the infamous 11. He told me all about the struggles in the early days, the accident on the roof, the military, the neighborhood, everything. But under it all, you just knew if you could be 1/4 the man dad was, you'd be one hell of a guy, a father, a husband, and a friend.
I'm going to miss you dad, very much. But I must warn you, I am taking the IRISH approach to this, which means I am going to CELEBRATE your life, and not acknowledge your passing. I hope your family not only understands, but joins me.
It also means I am going to drink a Guinness and an Irish Whiskey in memory of you, and then I'm going to drink a Guinness in memory of you, and maybe have another Guinness in your memory.
Here's to hoping you got to Heaven at least a half-hour before the Devil found out.
Go with Joanie now....
Love
Adam
P.S. The best thing Dad EVER said to me? "Son".
