A wonderful caring man who, along with his brother Peter was a huge part of my life for 35 years. Generous to a fault, caring and compassionate he was one of a kind. I will miss him dearly.
My heart felt condolences to the Pitrun family due to the passing of John.
When I started at P & F in 1988, it became clear that I have found a place to hang my hat.
John helped us to understand the meaning of family. We packed his station wagon together and made delivers with it. He gave us paid birthdays off. Getting paid on Thursday was "getting your wife to do groceries on Friday morning when the grocery store was still empty", he would say. He gave us picnics in the summer, Christmas turkey and complete parties for our families and kids. he made sure we were paid well.
John treated us with great respect. He knew who were and was always there to listen.
I admire his charm, innovation, drive and his abilities to keep P & F afloat throughout the many recessions.
He has significantly shaped my life. I will remember him for all that he has done both in my personal and professional life.
On behalf on my family, I would like to say "walk good, you have done a great job". Rest in peace great one.
I remember John during the Time I was in the same Management Team in MAGNA. He was a great Person and always helpful mentoring our profession.
My deepest condolences to all Family Members of John.
John has been an inspiration to everyone that had worked with him and I also just had the opportunity to learn from him. His approach to business and his care for the employees was inspiring to me and others within Magna.
My prayers are with his entire family at this time.
No one can replace the role father play in life. The love, care and protection he offers are enormous. We are really sad for your huge loss. May your Father's and husband's soul rest in peace . We will miss you my friend. We condole with you Christopher , Lisa-Marie and Ruth.
