I was heartbroken to learn of the sudden passing of Mr. Ostrega. I feel honored to have known such a great man. He was loved and admired by all who knew him. I am proud to have known Mr. Ostrega. He raised an incredible son, who is one of the most hardworking, honest, and loyal individuals I have ever met. Please accept my condolences on your loss.

John, I didn't have the pleasure for knowing you as long as many others but it didn't take very long to know you were a presence wherever you were. Thank you for the stories and the laughs you shared with us during our endless meetings. May your friends and family have the strength to get through the tough times and always remember the good.

To say this was a shock is an understatement. So many good memories hanging out with you and the CB gang in high school. Blessed to have been able to raise our children in the same town and run into you often when they were still in school. So glad I got to catch up with you and Cindy at our reunion in October. Cindy, Jocelyn and Evan, my heart goes out to you! You will be missed. Say hi to Freddie for me! Mary
