Alexis,
I am so sorry for your loss. John was a thoughtful, trustworthy and honest man. He helped me out many, many times over the years. I will miss his gentle spirit.
Please accept our condolences for your loss. From the 1980s until last month, John has been here for us with a smile and a solution. We have relied on his untiring work and skill. He saw my sons grow up and he never lacked a kind word for them. We will remember him as a dear friend to our family.
Alesia, I m so sorry to hear about your husband. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
We have known John since we bought our house in 2005. John knew our house since the late 1970’s! We have seen him so many times over the years and he became a treasured friend…lots of talk and texts completely unrelated to plumbing! We will miss him greatly and are so sorry for your loss.
I worked at Hajoca for 38 years, 20 of those were on the sales counter. Of all the customers that I waited on John was one of my favorites. I’m really sorry of his passing.
