Truly sorry for the loss of the friends and family of John M Casamento. Although I didn't personally have the privilege of meeting him, surely he was a courageous man. May God almighty comfort you in the time ahead. 2 Thessalonians 2:16,17.

John, my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father, grandfather and great grandfather. He was a great person who I admired and loved. I will surely miss him. We had some great times together especially at the shore (Atlantic City Casino's). He always was a gentlemen and always had a smile for everyone and loved to throw the dice at the crap tables. I know he enjoyed those weekly trips to AC immensely(with your Uncle Frank and myself).
I know he is smiling down on you and your family.
God bless you
