On any given day you would see Johnny driving all over the city on his bike, with his headphones on, most likely listening to sports talk radio. John was the most passionate and loyal Boston Red Sox and Boston Celtics fan, never missing a game. Nearly every day on WEEI sports talk radio, you’d be sure to hear Johnny, known to all as “John from Medford”, eager to discuss any and all topics relevant to the day; his love of the teams and players that brought him such joy were always a topic of discussion. Johnny was a dedicated supporter of both “The Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Association” and “The Jimmy Fund”, where he would walk the city streets, going house to house collecting donations for both organizations. But, more than anything, the thing that he loved most of all, was his family. Johnny would have done anything for anyone of them without hesitation. He was selfless and lived his life on his terms, his way.
