  1. John was a close friend of mine for over 30 years. John was known as Dr. Rovito by his coworkers. While at work if you needed to know why you received or why you did not receive a message the “Doctor” knew the answer. John was amazing. I can see John in heaven writing profiles to route incoming prayers to the correct Angel. Being vertical challenged John can finally look down on us from heaven. God Bless you John. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

    • Despite loosing touch with John over time, he was easy going and willing to help anyone/anytime. God speed John, and my sincere condolences to his family.
