The Colonel, as we called him, was already a legend as a Public Safety Officer at MUSC. He later came to Parking Management at MUSC, where I met and got to know him. Rest in peace my friend and God bless all family and those who loved him. And remember, Every silver lining's got a Touch of grey...

It is with the utmost sorry to learn of John's passing. I loved working along side him. We shared and laughed at many of life's funny moments. He even shared his hunting results with me without my prodding him to do so. God, please grant mercy upon his soul and peaceful understanding amongst his dear family.

My deepest sympathies to Melva, Johnny, and Ross. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. My favorite memories are spending Friday Nights at your house making popcorn and watching The X Files. John was always so warm, welcoming, and full of life. May you find peace and comfort to help you through this hard time.

Too young! Another fine human being taken by the C word too young. Wish I got to see him more in our later years but our youth days were fun including our shared love of “The Dead”. The Dalti and Shaw boys sure liked our Grateful Dead. Hope John is “dancing in the streets” of heaven.
My heart goes out to his family

Peggy and Family, I am sorry to learn of John's loss. I enjoyed his smile and laughter when I teased him about his "honey-do" list of delivering flowers to the church and/or school. Take care, my friends, and may John rest in peace as the choir of angels sing upon his heavenly arrival.

First, my deepest sympathies to Peggy, John Jr., Ross, Samuel, Daniel and Madison. I cannot imagine the sense of loss you must all be feeling, but I am grateful you were all there to help and support my friend while he fought valiantly to choose life despite the odds.
For me, you don’t have friends like the friends you had when you are in high school. They are woven into the fiber of who you are and what you become. And while I’ll remember the great times we shared in our youth and the countless Dead shows he had on tape, it is his qualities of common decency and humility, traits that he absorbed from his father, Joe, that I’ll remember the most. And while I’ll miss my dear friend, I consider myself lucky and privileged to have known him and that he was a big part of my life during my wonder years.

John was my cousin my marriage, but my family by grace. He was such an amazing gentleman, always there with a smile, and a positive word, a hug from his heart, and love from his soul. He embraced our family , and was truly a part of us. He worked tirelessly, to make sure every family event was perfect.
Even going through his health struggles, he never complained, but only lifted others up, with his unwavering positive attitude. I always admired him for that. John never made it about Him, he made it about others that were celebrated.
What a legacy he leaves, that a positive attitude. And eternal love for others, does transcend.
We remember him for the positive mark he made on our lives, and his memory, will motivate us to always be kind to others, as he was.
We miss you u John, but you lived a life that mattered to those who knew you, and to those you touched , who were many.
We love you, and your place on this earth will never be replaced.
Cheers to you in Heaven, as we know the Holy Father holds you in his hands.
Missing you always,
Shea Sirisky Cianciolo
