Condolence: Oh take your time dont live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And dont forget there is someone above
And be a simple kind of man

Condolence: It's tough to put into words on how much John meant to me as a friend. We grew up together and shared so many great times. Whether it was fishing, hunting or just hanging out, those times I will cherish. We had good times and bad but mostly fun times. Whether it was reeling in a big fish, looking over the next ridge, or simply spooling a new reel we always had fun. Those are the times I will miss most. To his family, Donna and children I say I'm so very sorry for your loss. To John I say this. I'll miss you more than you know. Stevie

Condolence: John was a funny guy, he loved to make jokes and joke around. He had a presence about him when you were near him. A quiet,yet gentleness about him until he laughed. My sons enjoyed his company when they visited the house and especially when John would take them fishing locally in their younger years. I remember how John beamed when his son, john caught his first fish and was written in the papers because little john won the prize. Fishing and hunting was his favorite hobbies but his loves were his kids and his wife, Donna. He will surely be missed by all and the Padovani Family. Rest in Peace John. Have fun Fishing up there in Heaven

Condolence: Memories of my nephew John

From his earliest years, John had a love for boating and a special great love for fishing. His father taught John the ins and outs of fishing and the various methods of catching the different types of fish. He taught him how to clean and fillet the fish. John was a master at filleting fish. Hence father and son had a great love for the outdoor life. As John grew older, he would travel at very early hours and great distances to catch the largest fish.. John's other outdoor love was hunting, whether with rifle or bow, John was very skillful.
I would receive phone calls from John, inquiring how my wife Pauline and I were feeling. We were very fortunate to have a long conversation with John two weeks ago. John spoke so warmly about his children and how proud he was of them. John was kind, friendly, thoughtful and proud. He had many friends. He was very proud of his Slovak heritage. Pauline and I loved John and will miss him. His life was too short. God called John to join his father and mother at a better place. May his soul rest in peace

Condolence: My heart is broken, I lost my beloved Friend, brother and fishing guru much to soon. Though you are probably teaching God how to fish by now, I was honored to have you teach me first. Grab me a spot on the stern "Cheech".
What's left of my broken heart goes out to his family at this time of unimagineable sorrow. My grief is deep and true.
Miss you already Buddy

Condolence: The pain of losing someone so young is always great.. John was a fixture in our lives for many years and always brings a smile and a laugh to our hearts. John, you died to young and will not be forgotten.. RIP dear friend.

Condolence: My heart aches for the loss of you, my big brother. Whether I liked it or not, I know you had my best interest at heart. As a teenager I was Big Johns sister. Always had eyes looking out for me. Always felt safe.
I will cherish my memories. Even when you hooked me in the head. Taking me on your boat during a storm and fishing off the dock at the boat yard.
Rest in Peace my brother. See you on the other side.
