My deepest sympathies to the family of this great guy, especially to his sisters Pat and Mary.
John (and Pat and Mary) lived across from me on E. Frederick Street when we were growing up and we spent a lot of time together, playing all kinds of games (especially hide and seek), including after supper until the street light came on and we had to come in. I well remember one cold winter evening when John and I braved the elements and camped out in my back yard in a small pup tent, and we thought we were going to freeze, it was so cold. Neither of us would quit, however.
Rest in peace, good buddy, you deserve it.

I'm sorry to hear of John's passing. I knew him most of our lives from Athens and church and the railroad. Although, I have only seen John a few times since the Sayre Shop closed in 1976. Last time was a few years ago when we were both pallbearers at Spencer Harding's service. Spencer always spoke well of John. I knew John as a pleasant, easy going guy and know he will be missed. Again, my condolences, Raymond Pierson

We will miss seeing "Ron-Ron" at the sales. He was a good man and will be truly missed by all.

I am so very sorry Marcia for your loss. My prayers and thoughts will be with you and your family. John was way too young for this. I wish that I lived up there so I could give you a big hug. Again, so sorry. Shirley & Denny Gergel

FATHER
By John J. Hennessy
My Father passed away on May 23rd. His name was John Martin Hennessy. Some of you knew him as husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin, classmate, co-worker, neighbor or friend. I knew him as my Father. He was the best dad that my sister and I could have asked for. He was always in my life. I remember going with him on Saturday mornings, when I was a young boy, to the V.F.W., so he could sign the book for the day. I remember how great it was to hang out with him. I remember going hunting with him during deer season and we also hunted for woodchucks that were bothering the neighbor's garden. My parents have been married for 45 years. My mother will tell you that she loved my Father so much that she wanted to name me after him. I just have a different middle name. When I was growing up, my dad worked for the railroad and my mom chose to stay home, so my sister and I would always have someone there when we got home from school. We always did things as a family. We went to church every Saturday or Sunday. We went to the “flea” market every Sunday. We went to many family functions and get togethers. I don't remember a time when either of my parents were not in my life. No matter what my sister and I did whether it was big or small, my parents took care of it and we knew that we were loved even if we did something to make them angry. If my Father joked with you or made sarcastic remarks to you, you knew that he liked you. I had to coach my first Little League game, since he passed away, on 5/24. It was really hard to look over toward my mother, who was at the game, and see that he wasn't sitting there. He was always there. He and my mother attended everything that my sister and I were ever involved in. He and my mother have always attended everything that my four boys have been in. Whether it was a Tee Ball game, a baseball game, soccer game, basketball game or school concert, my parents were there. My Father was always there for anyone that asked for his help. I remember him getting home from work, when I was growing up, and he would go help a neighbor who needed his help. He would always get phone calls from family members asking for help and he would stop what he was doing and he would go help. Back in 2005, I had back surgery and was having electrical problems in my house. My Father, at 59 years old, came to my house and was crawling around in my attic to find the problem. He did find the problem and he fixed it. The hardest part for me and I am sure for my family members and his friends is that he will no longer be there. It will be hard to deal with that because for my entire life, he has always been there. He has never let me down! He started hospice care on May 4th. On May 9th, his health was declining. He knew it too. He asked to speak to me. He asked me if I knew what was going on and I told him that I did. He told me that he was proud of me and that my sister and I were “good kids”. I thanked him for being the Father that he was to me and for always being there for me. I told him that I don't know if I would be who I am today had it not been for him and my mother. I thanked him for loving my mother all these years and showing me what a marriage was supposed to be. He truly was one of a kind! My wife, sons and I will miss him dearly! Thank you again dad for being the man that you were. You touched so many lives and made a difference in all of them too.

My condolences to the family of John Hennessy. I grew up and graduated with John and would run into John and Marcia every once in a while and was always glad to talk with them. So sorry or your loss...
