As we sit today and think of John and his love for everybody who surrounded him, we are enormously thankful for being allowed to share a little part of our lives with him. The image of John going through Sean & Natalie's loft this Thanksgiving, his hand bandaged, his eyes alert, taking in every detail, smiling constantly, radiating love and never complaining about a thing is a memory that will always be present in our hearts.

I heard about John whenever Ellen told a story about her family. He was always part of the White family celebrations. Sean and Zack have memories of John that no one can take away. We hope you all cherish your memories and keep John in your hearts for a very long time. In Harmony, Dodi and Paul Schultz

John Haney adopted the White family, and we were proud to have his.John was like the brother i never had. He was not just a fair weathered friend, he was always there if you needed him.Our friendship goes back to 1934. After grammer school at Saint Pauls church, he went to Henry Snyder jr. high and graduated there.He first worked for Andrews Food store on jackson ave, and i worked at Eagle grocery close to his store. John served his country in World War #2 in the Air Force, after his honorable discharge, he worked for Omilia Advertisement co., painting all the signs you would see on the roads. He then retired from Gannet Co. Every now and then John would sneak a smoke in daddys 1927 Willys Knight, not that he smoked a lot.Just to know at that time the gas was 12cents a gallon, so filler up. At our house he helped daddy with everything, he was his right hand man. John brought out red wood old sign boards for the house sub floor, which will never go away. On his vacation he would always come to sea side with us, and us kids never knew that john couldn't swim, but we always would make sure he held our hands thinking he could. Needless to say me and sis will always remember him as a special person, cause he was part of our family. There is so much more i could say but i would need more than 1000 characters. love, sis & whitey

Dear John, I guess I'm the last one to enter here,I also don't remember a nickname, but my dad said i was known as the first born, which would make me kinda special, right.All these stories i just read are great and true.He was a gentle,blue eyed, IRISHMAN,loved his meat&potatoes,loved to eat, but you will see all this in the album of pictures later.My memory isn't as good as everybody elses, but i do know that we were loved, us kids and our kids.There wasn't anything he wouldn't do for us or with us.He helped everybody with their houses, and our was a mess when we bought it.There are some stories i could tell, but the best one for me and tim would be when he would visit little timmy at the hospital and surprise us by bringing him home before we went to pick him up.One Christmas tim was layed off, no unemployment yet and John was there to get us our tree, since we had tom&greg, and they were little, you needed a tree.To sum it up, we will never forget you JOHN, and we love you always....Now just a little poem, ROSES R RED VIOLETS R BLUE OUR DADS #1 BUT YOU R THE BEST #2 LOVE YA, ALVA,TIM

He was there for each union, there for each birth, there when we built our homes. He laughed often, loved always, imparted faith to all. Now we are here for him. Those that have gone before him, like Harold, will guard him on the way and bring him to the place God has prepared...Exodus 23:20 And somehow....we find peace in knowing John will continue to be with us forever! Until we meet again.... With Love,

Exemplary model; extraordinary teacher; wonder worker or source of benevolent power; intercessor; selfless, ascetic behavior; and possessor of a special and revelatory relation to the holy. By definition John was a saint.

As far back as I can remember, at any family party or outing John was there. He was the guy who gave you the candy when you shouldn't have it,slipped you the extra Yoohoo when we used to go out on the boat,stopped at O'Johnnies on the way home from church for some candy. So many of the good memories I have of growing up would not be the same had John not been there. I don't think I ever saw John angry, he saw the good in everyone and anyone who had the good fortune to have been a part of John's life is better off for it. I have always, and always will envy the friendship Pop & John had. Imagine, 80+ years of knowing someone, at least 1 person who you can count on to always be there for you!! Growing up, I always knew John would be there for me with a smile or words of encouragement or a congratulations. He was there at every birthday,graduation,wedding..he was a constant...and he will be missed. Luv ya John!

As others have said before me, Uncle John was our third grandfather. Not related by blood but always considered to be family. The best memories I have of Uncle John are those that I can�t remember like a time when he didn�t put a smile on my mother�s face or a time when anyone had anything negative to say about Uncle John (other than me when Uncle John would help my brother cheat while playing cards). I�m extremely thankful that we were able to spend this time together and that we have so many fond memories and pictures to look back on and share with our children. Uncle John, you will be missed, always be remembered and will always hold a special place in our hearts. Rest in peace and may the bread basket be endless in heaven. Love, Zach, Jorie, Liam & Kaia

John, (or as many of us knew him as, Uncle John), will always be remembered as the most generous and caring man. John was very true to his beliefs and would always have a gentle, positive approach to any situation. There was always a warm comforting feeling when John was in my presence. There are so many memories that I hold dear to my heart when John�s name is mentioned. One that comes to mind is our Saturday or Sunday dinners at my mom�s house. We would always play a game of SKIP-BO after we had finished eating a meal, with bread of course. No matter how many times we played SKIP-BO, over the course of years, John would always use a 6 in the place of a nine or a 9 in the place of a six, but he always seemed to win. When visiting with Nana and Pop on Sunday�s there was always the anticipation of seeing John after he came back from church. He would always come in with a smile and always happy to see me. I can hear him saying, �Hi Jesse�. Then we would venture out to O�Johnnies where John would let me pick out anything. John is and will always be an inspiration to me and will be greatly missed. Love you Uncle John Jesse and Jackie

John = "The Apostle". John carried a Christian message to everyone he knew with a kind word or just his happy, quiet smile. He was truly a peaceful, loving and caring man. He will be missed by so many. God Bless!

Canise and I had a best friend, and his name was John. He understood us although he was much taller and older. And he always could see the fun in the things that we did. I really know no greater feeling of anticipation and excitement then my drive to Rockaway to be picked up by John and tell him (as if he didn’t know) how to get to Nana’s and Pop’s place for the weekend. And at the same time I was never bummed as much as when Nana and Pop would hide him when they arrived at our place for a Saturday afternoon. But he was always there; whether it was behind a door or ducking in the back seat, and it was him being there that was so important me. I have many memories of times spent with John, and as I look back some are just joyful and others are accompanied with a meaningful message. He had the softest touch at communicating to you how to be a good person and grow as an individual. He was proud of my every accomplishment and interested in my every story. I know I would be a very different person if he were not part of my life and I hope to always be that person he saw within me. And while it may not be true John, I will always believe I got my blue eyes from you. So now please take care of Canise for me while I wait here with that same anticipation and excitement to see you again. Perhaps the three of us can take another stroll around the block to collect those most interesting rocks - careful though, because this time I'm watching to see if you throw any back to the street. Love you and miss you greatly.

Always a gentlemen...always caring...always a pleasure to be around. We will fondly remember playing games, having a glass of wine, and eating M&M's at our Friday "White Nights." John, you will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. The memories of you remain forever in the hearts of all the lives you have blessed. Go with the angels. Love, Rose (AFC) & Bill

John, Hebrew for "God is Gracious"Definition:merciful, compassionate, warm, kindly,generosity of spirit, easy approachability: a more fitting name could not be found.John taught me many things by example.Most importantly he taught me about children and how they are all precious to God: treat them as equals,sit on the floor and play with them, listen to them carefully, show them love. Memories of Shirley Temple movies;Joe's horse farm;valentines;surprise puppies;chicks & ducks at Easter;sinking in the pool;dancing on your feet to Lawrence Welk;driving us to Sunday School and then Vacaros bakery; running on the beach and the boardwalk; Indians at the waterfalls;songs;petting my head while telling stories to make everthing alright;letting me dunk my roll in your Sunday coffee;your contagious laughter;praying our son well; painting EVERYTHING including my house in the middle of winter so Frank & I could get a mortgage;the unconditional love you gave to me, my husband, children, and grandchildren;celebrating the addition of every family member; but most of all I will miss our talks about faith,family,politics. Who knew that "Applebee & Lizzeytishes" life long friend would become a brother,father, grandfather, great grandfather?Saying thank you John is not enough.So hopefully I will live up to your expectations, because I know you are watching.WWJohnD? Our angel on earth is now HOME and is our angel in heaven. "God was gracious" to us by giving us you.Till we meet again, John. Love Always, Ellen(Babe)

Only 1,000 characters for John!? Not enough space! Like Tom said, John was an awesome third grandpa. From taking me on my first ferris wheel (terrifying) to giving driving advice (just stay in the right lane!), John was ALWAYS there to offer up an extra bit of wisdom. One John-ism that stuck with me was shared when I was visibly upset at a video game. John said, "If you're supposed to be having fun, but you're not, then just take a break." If thats not a metaphor for any self-wrought stressor in life, then I don't know what is. When John would sleep over, I would beg and plead for him to stay instead of going back home. When I visited John in Clark, there was no way he WASN'T taking me to O'Johnnies for a treat. He was always just so great to be around. John showed nothing but kindness towards my family and me, and was one of the best guys I have or will ever know. Its super sad that hes gone, but at least hes got some really solid company up there. I love you John, God bless.

My John taught me all about Jesus, told me stories about kittens, came home from work after a long train ride from Jersey City and let me ride on his back like a poney (even putting his belt in his mouth for the reins).He took me for shoes when I was little, took me to Terry Lou Zoo for poney rides, across the street to Joe Reel's farm to play with the kittens. My John was a wonderful man who never raised his voice in anger, held my hair back when I was sick and told me everything would be alright. He could do nothing wrong in my eyes and is the ruler to which everyone else is measured. There isn't a single person who could ever measure up to My John. No one will ever know how much John meant to me but that's OK...I know in my heart and that's all that matters. I will always love you and miss you. Love, Sandy (sweetheart)

Not many people have the good fortune of having three grandfathers, we did! John, I hope you got your appetite back because there is a vip seat waiting for you at Perkins - try the southern fried chicken, I hear it's the best. God Bless You. We will miss you. Our sincere condolences to friends and family. Love Donna, Tom, Casey and Matthew
