John was my friend and my colleague at AssetMark. I was devastated to hear of his passing and I send my most heartfelt condolences to his family and other friends. I spoke with John just last week. I had been sick and John called to see how I was doing and to catch-up. It was great to hear from him. I will be forever grateful for his compassion and thoughtfulness. I will miss him greatly. May he rest in peace.

I want to thank Dr Emu a very powerful spell caster who help me to bring my husband back to me, few month ago i have a serious problem with my husband, to the extend that he left the house, and he started dating another woman and he stayed with the woman, i tried all i can to bring him back, but all my effort was useless until the day my friend came to my house and i told her every thing that had happened between me and my husband, then she told me of a powerful spell caster who help her when she was in the same problem I then contact Dr Emu and told him every thing and he told me not to worry my self again that my husband will come back to me after he has cast a spell on him, i thought it was a joke, after he had finish casting the spell, he told me that he had just finish casting the spell, to my greatest surprise within 48 hours, my husband really came back begging me to forgive him, if you need his help you can contact him with via email: Emutemple@gmail.com or add him up on his whatsapp +2347012841542 is willing to help any body that need his help.

John and I were founding members of Blue Water. I am in total disbelief after learning of John's passing today. He will be sorely missed. What stood out to me in my years of working with John was his passion for learning about the world around him and his thoughtfulness of others. He always asked about my family and, specifically, my sons that played lacrosse and wrestled. I had coffee with him not long ago and he was on a good life path. He told me of of the great satisfaction he received helping others through the We Rise Above the Street program and encouraged me to come help out. May you rest in peace my friend. You and your family are in my family's thoughts and prayers.

Our deepest sympathies and condolences to the Lombardo family on John's passing. I was fortunate to be one of John's lifelong friends. Sharing our High School years together - competing on the same teams, and developing an appreciation for one another over the years. The best part of our friendship is that it was cultivated and never fleeted away over time. From John's participation in my wedding, periodic monthly phone calls to Chris and me as we grew our family over the years, especially as he got to know our kids. An essential component of John's character was his keen awareness at maintaining connectivity even before cell phones were a part of life's daily packing list - this connectivity was built off the shared hardships and trials of adolescences tied to the realization of that freight train called life, for John it wasn't fear of change in staying connected, but wanting to build that change with those he cherished and valued him in return. I'm extremely grateful that while stationed at Fort Drum, New York; John was able to really bond with my family - predominantly serving as my oldest' s life coach with my brother Joe during the sectional and state wrestling championships while I was in Afghanistan. John was never perfect as a human, none of us are; but he was flawless as a friend. God Bless!

I'm so very sorry for your loss, Lombardo family. John and I graduated from W. Genesee together where I remember him being a star athlete. I just saw him at our 35th class reunion on 10/12 /19 where he was so very kind to me. I would like to send you a picture that I took of him there if you would like to have it and can give me an email to send it to? I am going to miss him as will the class of '84. He was a really nice guy and a remarkable person. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you begin to grieve and in the coming days and months ahead. Wishing you peace and comfort in your time of deep sorrow.

Mrs. Lombardo, Tracey and Chip........please accept my deepest condolences on John's passing. John and I have stayed in touch and have continued to exchange birthday wishes every year on February 9th and April 11th, and this year was no different. John texted me at 8:12 am on Saturday morning, and I will forever cherish that communication. John was a good man, with a very generous heart, and will be missed by all who knew him. Please know you're in my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. God bless......

Mrs.Lombardo and family,
Joe and I were shocked to learn of John's sudden passing. Our hearts go out to all of you. We carry fond memories with us from elementary school through graduation, at the Lacrosse Hall of Fame induction, reunions and many West Genesee sporting events he attended, always asking about our kids and always with a story and a smile. He will be missed. Our sincerest sympathy.

My deepest condolences to the Lombardo family. John was a caring and fun-loving friend, and will always be part of happy memories from West Genesee. Although our paths took us in different directions after high school, whenever I saw him it was as if no time passed. I found a favorite picture today from a time he visited me in college. In the picture, he is on the phone, leaning against the wall, smiling at me, eyebrows raised. I will miss his spirit, his stories and views of the world, and just knowing he is out there. The world was a better place for having John in it. May he rest in peace.

John and I were both former drummers going back to Jr high school. We reconnected at a reunion a while back. He told me he liked my hair – we both had little left. Discussion was easy. Politics, business, kids. He went to UPenn, my son was at UPenn at the time and he was genuinely enthused to hear how he was doing. We stayed in touch, periodically connecting on politics, business and sharing reading lists. Caring, compassionate, intelligent and most of all sincere – That was John. I cannot say any more than anyone else, but to send love to his family, praise the person he was and simply share in the heartache and emptiness of this moment. John – you were loved and gave love. Thanks for giving your energy, humanity and spirit. You made a difference.

I was shocked and saddened by the news that John passed. I worked with John for years at AssetMark. He was a smart, thoughtful, funny, and genuinely sincere person; always asking about family and how I was doing. My sincere condolences to both family and friends. John will certainly be missed.

Mrs. Lombardo- Just want to offer my sincere condolences for the passing of your son John so unexpectedly. I know how close he was to My Aunt and Uncle and was an important addition to the family for many years. I am glad I got to know him better over the years from many long chats we had quite a few years back. Was always good to see him and I am better for knowing him. I know he adores you and will always be with you. I can only hope that my son cares for me the way John did for you. May you find peace a little each day and cherish the memories.

John and I were co-workers for a few years at Aris Corporation / AssetMark. He shared my interest in music and I always enjoyed our end-of-day chats about what we were currently listening to. I was stunned and saddened to hear of his passing. My sincere condolences to his family.

Dear Mrs. Lombardo, Chip, and Tracey,
I was so saddened to hear about John’s passing. I have many fond memories of carpooling with all of you going around to different pools representing the Syracuse Chargers. John, being the youngest in the car, always seemed to be the most entertaining! Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time...

My deepest condolences to John's family and friends. I was John's accountant over the past number of years and just learned of his passing. John and I always had wonderful conversations about life and developed a friendship over the years. His insight into the markets was always a welcomed conversation. You will be deeply missed my friend and forever remembered. May you rest in peace.

Dearest Sandy and the rest of the Lombardo Family,
It is with the deepest condolences that I express my sorrow to you. I can't remember how often (but it was often) Sandy told my brother Mike and I about how much we reminded her of her 2 sons - whether it was the arguing, avoidance, ethic, demeanor, love, or the ability for one of us (me) to run over the other one (Mike) on Song Mountain on skis in front of Sandy herself! I am so sorry for your loss, and your thoughts are in my prayers.

Dear Sandy, Tracey and Chip,
I am so sorry to hear the heartbreaking news of John's passing. I read the comments above and it is wonderful to hear all the ways John has touched so many peoples lives. I pray your beautiful memories bring you some peace. I have very fond memories of our times together. I'm not sure how old I was when I first started babysitting but I remember we had a lot of fun! I was always very impressed how you all could bang on the garbage cans and it would sound like music! Cherished memories have gotten me through some tough times I hope they will for you. Love always, Trish Whiteside Pepe

My wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.
