Burpee, Carpenter & Hutchins Funeral Home

Condolence: I worked with John for many years. John was a hard worker, honest, and kind. John and I were diehard Yankee fans who had to defend ourselves against all those diehard Red Sox fans. In the future, whenever I have to defend myself against all those Red Sox fans I'll think of John. Although he was my wife's cousin I liked to think of him as part of my family also. He'll be missed by many.

My first memory of John is when he was but a few days old and I went with my mother to the birthing home in Rockland to visit Aunt Barbie and John. I still remember even what the room was like. I was eight at the time and felt very honored to be included in this grownup family event.
