Your Dad was always so pleasant to everyone. He will really be missed. I worked with him on Republican projects and saw him often at community events. Always had a smile too. Brightened my day--that's the way I'll remember him.

Dear John. such a dear man...gentleman through and through with gentle heart. I met him years ago when I was a banker @ Canadian Lakes but got to know him through my library where he served on my library board for many years. For the past 10 years he was part of our book discussion group. He was the only male in the group,a fact he liked to remind his golfing buddies of . It was such a pleasure having him in that group, he loved to read, would take detailed notes, and shared not only insight. John often regaled us with tales of his life experiences that related to things in the book (or not) but we never tired of hearing him share. He definitely had a wealth of such experiences . even though there was quite an age difference between John and I we became friends. I looked forward to warm hugs I got from him every time I saw him. He referred to me as "Cory dear". he will be greatly missed in our book club and I WILL MISS HIM, my friend. my heartfelt condolences to his family. Heaven has gained a scholarly and gentlemanly angel!!!
Mr. Conforte was one of our flyers for our June Inaugural Flight. I'm glad he had the opportunity to see the WW II Memorial. It was an honor and privilege to share this day with him. Our sincere condolences to his family.

John Conforte was a gentleman in the true sense of the word - a thoughtful, caring man who saw the best in everyone. I became acquainted with John and his wife when I worked at the professional center @ Canadian Lakes when that building first came into being. Later, I worked as sec'y/bookkeeper at Morley Stanwood Schools and John came to us as a sub teacher. Always enjoyed visiting with him whenever he subbed. Mr and Mrs Conforte were people to be admired and he will be missed greatly, as she has been missed, also. My sincere condolences to family and friends.
We met John in 1998 when we moved in down the street feom him. He was always kind and helpful and my kids looked up to him with his involvement in our Church. On a light note...they nicknamed him Speedy Conforte when theyd see his car zipping past our house. Rest in peace John.
