To the Sharkey family, my dear cousins, my sincerest condolences on the passing of John. John you were always my mother's favorite & one of mine. We grew up together and had some great times, the Macks & the Sharkeys. My favorite memory is when you returned from Nam & we took your dog Omar to the park in a car. I had my window open & he kept jumping out, you got so mad cause you had to keep stopping to catch him, again Maureen again. You didn't stay mad long though. As you join the other family members in heaven I know Omar will be waiting for you on the rainbow bridge. Love and miss you! Maureen Mack

Although I only knew you for a short time, I felt a deep connection. You both and especially John had a great attitude which I thought would have brought him a longer way in this life. But apparently he was needed for far more important things than on this earth. He is with God who took him quickly before any suffering, and I am grateful for that. I will never forget his pleasant nature no matter what he was going through! And Joanne, you were his rock, support, and salvation. I could always tell, he felt safe and comfortable with you by his side. You had a special bond! God Bless You Both. You will be in my prayers for your comfort, Joanne. John doesn't need prayers, he is already on his way to heaven.

To the Sharkey family, please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of your loved one, John K. Sharkey. I remember John from meetings of the LZ Hope veterans support group at the East Orange VAMC, years ago. I hadn't seen him recently, but I often thought of him and valued his friendship. He was a strong and courageous Vietnam vet, who fought the good fight, during and after the war. May his soul rest in peace forever.

To Joanne and family,
My dear friend.....please accept my heartfelt and sincere sympathies, to you and all of John's family. I didn't know John well, but from the few times I met him, I realized this was truly a good man. May he rest in peace, riding the Harley wind, free of the suffering, from this devastating disease. I will keep John in my prayers, and all of you, in my thoughts and in my heart. God rest his soul. With love, Marie Tedesco

Big Brother John, I regret not being able to see you before you were called up to heaven. After we first met, we helped each other to wallow through the V. A. quagmiere. We shared some good times together. You will be missed by any & all who got to know you. RIP Sincerely from Frank De Santo.......!!!!!!!!

Uncle John,
Remember "Who Loves Ya." You were the best Uncle I could have ever wished for. You were also the biggest war hero I ever had the privilege of knowing. I am so blessed to have had you in my life and know that you are in heaven with My Mom, Aunt Marion, Uncle Pat, Grandma and Grandpa and will be interceding in our lives every day. You will always live in all of our hearts.
Love,
Joseph Roman

My husband became fast friends with Sharkey through the Hess Angels riders in Saugerties, NY. I then had the distinct honor and pleasure of getting to know this gentle giant and his devoted and lovely wife Jo! Sharkey could have boasted about his honorable war record, but he was a very modest gentleman. He will be so missed especially by my husband as they became close riding buddies! But Sharkey could only ride on Sundays after Mass. Jo made sure that his soul was blessed before any adventures. His mold is broken so all we can do is our best to be as good a person as he. Broken hearted for all his family, who he loved beyond the universe.

Over 50 years ago I met John Kevin when he was a teenager, that was the first night I went to the family home in Newark to pick up his sister Virginia, John and all the brothers gave me a good once over...John and I became friends, a friendship that last over 50 years, we were fishing buddies, he was the BEST fisherman I ever met, he could catch fish in an empty pond...But more importantly he was just an amazing person, kind, gentle for his six foot seven frame, always ready to tell a joke and laugh at one even if he heard it a hundred times before...By the way his sister Virginia and I became man and wife, now John is with her in Heaven...I will miss this guy...He became to me not an in-law, but a real brother..He was not just a friend but someone who ever met him considered as "Family". Those of us who had the opportunity to spend years with John Kevin are the lucky ones.. It will be a different world without you Brother John, be at Peace, we will always love you my Brother..
Steve
