My deepest condolences to his family. I only had the pleasure of knowing John as little boy, he would always be playing, joking, and teasing me about being his girlfriend. I tutored John when he was in the 3rd grade. I can still see his smile. John, you will differently be miss and your smile will never be forgotten. To his family John will always be with us in our hearts and may God bless you all.

My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to The Adelfio Family. John, I can not believe that you have left this place. You were just asking me to check on GRAM just the other day. I am really going to miss you. He was a wonderful person with a good spirit, heart, and soul. As I cry, I think about the good times we have shared. I am glad to have known you. I will always love you until we meet again.....

I am a cousin of John Adelfio and I am the first cousin of Mario Adelfio Sr. I never met John but from these notes left I'm sure he was a very nice young man and my heart goes out to all the family.

"John John" was truly a giving and loving individual, as shown by his favorite expression: "One life, one love". We'll miss you John, as will your family and friends. "One life, one love" little brother. My wife and I extend our deepest sympathy to all who knew and loved you. Having known you was truly a blessing, you were a rare heart indeed. Go with God little brother.

Words can't describe the pain and loss I feel and John's family has my deepest sympathy. John was a fantastic neighbor, very good friend and a sweetheart. I keep going by his grandmother's house hoping that I would see him and that this would all just be a horrible dream. I miss him terribly and our neighborhood will never be the same without John.
love and sympathy,

John worked for my company for a short time and I had the pleasure of training him. He was a very polite young man and loved his grandmother. I am so sorry for your loss.
