John was a wonderfully kind and respected man, humble despite all his accomplishments, helpful to others (including me), a pillar of his community, his business, and the political community. May he rest in peace, and may I humbly convey my condolences to his family.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any manʼs death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

It was an honor to call John a friend. His warm smile and kind heart will be greatly missed. May his Irish eyes be smiling down on all of us, especially his loving family! Heaven gained another angel. The Jasper community lost a wonderful man! With Love, Patti, Neil, Allison and Ashley Hickey

Deepest sympathy to John's family from his friends in the Naval Reserve community. A wonderful officer and a patriot who left his mark in the hearts of all who had the honor and privilege to serve with him. Fair winds John and following seas...your work is well finished!

We are saddened to hear of John Roe’s passing but know he now enjoys all of the promises of the Resurrection in which he so deeply believed.

It is with great sadness that I heard about John's passing. John & I go way back to when we drove together to go to college in those Quonset huts. Friendships were rekindled when he and Colette wintered in Naples, FL and we got together for the St Patrick's Day parades. Fond memories, then and now. Rest in peace dear old friend, those beautiful blue eyes, great smile and enormous heart will be missed, but we all know you will be greeted with open arms as you approached the gates of heaven. Farewell old friend. Jack
