John -
Best Man -- Brother of the Groom
John was welcomed into this world on the evening of Saturday July
25, 1959. He was the first of three sons born
to Lois and Jack. He was your typical boy through his younger years,
curious and adventurous while causing the usual commotion in the house that
a young boy is known to do.
Fast forward to the year 1977 when John graduated from Shenendehowa High
School. He had aspirations of becoming a Forester, so he attended Paul Smiths
College in Saranac Lake, NY. Upon graduating after a two-year program, John
headed west to Colorado, to work in the timber industry. He worked long hours
in the woods felling trees that would be hauled off to lumber mills. He lived
out of the back of his Chevy pick-up for approximately three months before
returning home to pursue something a bit more lucrative. He tested many job
markets before finally settling into the landscape nursery business, and
there he has remained in a variety of capacities ever since. Today he is
a regional salesman for Imperial Nurseries, and he still has the eye and
talent to plan and create impressive landscape projects.
He is an avid lover of the outdoors, whether he is working or playing. He
enjoys fishing everywhere from the shores of New Jersey to the Adirondack
Lakes of upstate New York where the family cabin is located. He also enjoys
the winter in upstate New York, spending time at the cabin and skiing nearby
Gore Mountain with friends and family.
Today John resides in Toms River, New Jersey with his wife Maureen, daughter
Julianna and the family dog, Bailey. His son John P. IV (J.P. as we
call him) resides in Stewartstown, Pennsylvania and is engaged to his fiancée,
Megan.

David - Best Man -- Brother of the Groom
Born in Buffalo, NY David grew up
a diehard Buffalo Bills fan. His time in Buffalo was short before moving
on to NJ and finally residing in Ballston
Lake, NY with his lovely wife Cheryl and beautiful daughters Elissa and Megan.
David spent his younger years working towards his career of choice. Who would
have known that little David working on his coffee table in wood shop class
would someday be the owner of a successful home re-modeling business. David’s
fate was sealed in more ways than one while spending a summer building the
family cabin with his father. For not only did David realize his future would
be building homes, but he had also met a young woman named Cheryl, soon to
be his bride. You can now find “Saint” David as we like to call
him dividing his time between his career, the golf course, the volley ball
court, or taking a moment to get knocked over by his daughter, Megan’s,
fast ball. He is a devoted father, husband, son, and I’m proud to call
him my brother.
